Christopher Scott Kyle, born and raised in Texas, is notoriously nicknamed the most successful sniper in American military history. As a US Navy SEAL from 1999 to 2009, he accumulated a claimed kill count of 255 – out of which 160 was confirmed.

He served in four tours in the latest war with Iraq, and was awarded some of the most prestigious medals in the US Military multiple times because of his notable courage and military skill set. His awards include the Bronze and Silver Star. When he was deployed to Iraq because of his sniper skills, rebel groups started calling him the “Devil of Ramadi”, and even offered a bounty for anyone who managed to retrieve his head.

However, later on, circumstances made him choose between his military career and his life as a married family man. At the time, his child was growing up and he barely had any time to spend with his own kid, mainly because he was overseas most of the time.

He made a decision to leave the SEALS and he was honorably discharged in 2009. He eventually founded a security company he named CRAFT and wrote a New York Times bestseller, American Sniper. In February of 2013, however, he was murdered by a fellow US Military Veteran in a shooting range in Texas.

  • Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle Lawsuit Concluded – Jesse Wins

    Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle Lawsuit Concluded – Jesse Wins

    The Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle lawsuit has been the talk of the town these last couple of days ever since a jury awarded Jesse $1.8 Million in damages from the slain Navy SEAL sniper’s estate. The jury decided yesterday, July 29th in Minnesota.

    The lawsuit started when Chris Kyle said in his book that he punched Jesse Ventura out in a bar in 2006 when Kyle claimed that Jesse said the SEALs “deserved to lose a few” as it relates to combat.

    There is a lot of interest in this case for two main reasons. First, both men are celebrities in their own right. Chris Kyle, an author, a famous SEAL sniper, a 2 time Silver Star recipient for valor, a five time Bronze Star recipient for valor, and who is no longer with us. Chris was killed at a gun range by Eddie Ray Routh, a Marine who Kyle was helping to recover from PTSD. Jesse Ventura is a former Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, Minnesota governor, an author, and a TV show host. Both men have other accomplishments, but these are the main ones.

    Celebrity infighting is the main reason for interest in this case. Yet another major reason is this is probably the first time the public has seen a case where a man’s widow has to pay for her late husband’s lawsuit for defamation. Sure there may be examples, but none so prominent as this one. And people are upset at Ventura for going through with it. Others are glad Jesse won because it clears his name, which is something that is priceless in the public eye. It is very apparent that the court of public opinion is with the Kyle’s widow.

    Here are several prominent responses to the Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle Lawsuit:
