“Every person I killed I strongly believe
that they were bad. When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I
will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.” –

“Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad. When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.”
Christopher Scott "Chris" Kyle (April 8, 1974 − February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL and the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, with over 160 kills officially confirmed by the Department of Defense. Kyle served four tours in the Iraq War and was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat. He received two Silver Star Medals, five Bronze Star Medals, one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and numerous other unit and personal awards.
Kyle was honorably discharged from the
U.S. Navy in 2009 and published his bestselling autobiography, American
Sniper, in 2012. An eponymous film adaptation of Kyle's book, directed by Clint
Eastwood, was released two years later.
On February 2, 2013, Kyle was shot
dead at a shooting range near Chalk Mountain, Texas. His friend, Chad
Littlefield, age 35, was also killed. The former Marine accused of killing
Kyle, Eddie Ray Routh, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in
prison without parole.
