Moron Congressman Wants to Give Chris Kyle the Medal of Honor

[Stealhead]

Well to be considered persons that witnessed the act/s must write up an award recommendation far as I know a member of congress dose not have that power.

There are numerous SEALs that actually did earn a MOH which I might add has nothing to do with kill ratios in fact there are MOH recipients that did not kill a single enemy solider during the action they where rewarded.

There is also a single case of a MOH SEAL later getting saved by another SEAL who revived an MOH for the rescue.

EDIT: Man this android tablet loves to double post me. Open a second page in any browser and bam it posts it. Anyone else have this issue?

I am 100% certain, that if Chris Kyle were here, he would drop kick that dummy for suggesting such an absurd thing.



Kyle knew, as all current and former military know, The Medal of Honor, is NOT a popularity contest award.

I'm not so sure. It's been proven that he lied repeatedly to promote himself.

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:
