Saw him on Fox and Friends this morning. He makes me proud to be a Texan. :txflag:

As I started reading the article I thought, "Why would he make himself so easy to identify?". If I had his skills and reputation, I wouldn't want the enemy knowing my face, my name, my business name and where I live....

Then I read the part about his book hitting the shelves this week. Seems he's not too worried. :smilelol5:

Thanks "Mr. Kyle".!! :thumbs2:

A hunting partner was a seal. He would not discuss his exploits. He feared one word would jepordize his whole family. These are the men who walk among men.

Chris Kyle was on the news this morning for having decked former governor Jesse Ventura....who is also a former SEAL. Apparently Ventura told Kyle to his face that it was about time that the SEALS started losing guys, and by "losing," he meant "get killed." Kyle threw one punch and and knocked Ventura down. The reporter asked him what happened next, and Kyle said, "the cops were there, so I ran." He said he had a Master Chief whose advice was to "punch and run." :mrgreen:

Good interview. Bill wasn't shy about asking hard questions, maybe a little too much so.
Chief Kyle gave him the stink eye once or twice.

Good story about Jesse. Sounds like the Governor ran his mouth at the wrong time, in the wrong place and to the wrong people.
He's lucky he didn't get more than a single punch, given the incredibly inappropriate venue in which he chose to express his thoughts. :mad5
