[QUOTE="tim003, post: 2696030, member: 1223"] Mr Kyle is a legend, so we are going hear a lot of stories about him in the next 20 years, some might be true with a little exaggeration and some it just totally BS. In the movie, the word "legend" has been used quite often to descibe Mr Kyle. I think it takes a different kind of breed to do the things that Mr Kyle did while he is in the service and I respected that. For more than 10 years I could not find any justification that why we invaded Iraq, the war in Iraq just created the legend like Mr Kyle and more than 3,000 dead soldiers and a lot of soldiers coming home with missing some limbs and etc...
