Re: SAW AMERICAN SNIPER YESTERDAY!

CSPAN 2 re-ran the interview with Chris Kyle yesterday. It was filmed about a year before his death. He was very gracious and caring, very kind attitude toward vets. It's too bad he felt the need to elaborate with untruths in his book.

Jesse Ventura has every right to do what most would have done, set the record straight. The widow and family will make out very well with the book and movie proceeds plus her upcoming book. No doubt many have contributed to support them through their grief and loss.

As for calling Ventura "scum", someone even said that about his family, or that he wasn't a hero -- most vets are not considered heroes -- or they all are, depending on frame of mind. I think JV has seen a lot of ugly politics which is probably the source of his theories. I may not agree with him but If he is scum, so are we all.

Unless one considers WWF combat Ventura never saw it. As for vets not begin considered heroes anyone who has been in war, who has fought for our country, is a hero in my eyes. That includes Kyle and omits Ventura.

Many have witnessed ugly politics but that doesn't bring out the weirdo conspiracy theories in them. Nor does it make one sue Homeland Security and TSA because you had to endure a pat down when you set off the metal detector.

Your statement 'if he's scum so are we all' I have no idea what you mean by that.
