It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
Chris KyleIt's not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That's not a problem at all.
Chris KyleIf you see anyone from about sixteen to sixty-five and theyโre male, shoot โem. Kill every male you see.
Chris KyleI began teaching my son how to shoot when he was two, starting with the basics of a BB rifle. My theory is that kids get into trouble because of curiosityโif you donโt satisfy it, youโre asking for big problems. If you inform them and carefully instruct them on safety when theyโre young, you avoid a lot of the trouble. My son has learned to respect weapons. Iโve always told him, if you want to use a gun, come get me. Thereโs nothing I like better than shooting.
Chris KyleI'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.
