...but also very strange...even ironic.
Cant wait to hear what the media makes of this...
Or if we'll ever hear what the shooters motive was

Why anyone would want to advertise who they are like that is really beyond comprehension.

Like I said, I was just speculating. The point remains though, any of these guys putting themselves in the public spotlight are putting themselves at risk.

Yep agree Richard. Trying to sell book I guess?

“I’m trying to raise the awareness of the troops that, when they deploy and go to war, it’s not just them at war — it’s also their family. Their family is having to go through all the hardships and the stresses,” said Kyle, who included writings from his wife in the book to highlight the contribution of families.

Consequently, most Americans have little understanding of war. “They think everyone who comes home has problems and then they don’t even fully understand what goes on over there — how horrific war actually is,” said Kyle, who is donating his share of the proceeds from the book to the families of slain military personnel and to help veterans.
