He claimed that he punched Jesse Ventura in the face. In fact, Ventura never even met him, and Kyle's estate lost the slander suit that Ventura brought.
Kyle also claimed that he and another person sat at the top of the Superdome in New Orleans during Katrina, and sniped looters. Umm...no.
He also claimed that he killed 2 men who tried to carjack him in Texas. No evidence has ever been found for this.
Strange how none of this made it into the film.
Given this blatant dishonesty and lack of character, I think he'd jump at the chance to claim a medal he didn't earn. |
I've heard the Ventura suit verdict is under review for judicial misconduct. But still, the other 2 stories Kyle told are bogus.
Don Shipley does a great job busting fake SEALs. The absolute worst of them is definitely Bill Brockbrader.
Edit: Back on topic. The moron who wants Kyle to get the Medal of Honor is doubling down:
