The movie was "OK". Some actual events were not true or enhanced for Hollywood, "at least according to Kyles own words in his book".
Im not sure how the special forces community feels about the Self-aggrandizement , the money making, or the coming out in whats supposed to be a secret community. Thats for them to judge. Not me, not you. These guys, all branches, go thru hell for what? a 1% raise this year? So what right would we have to say anything?
I guess the entire ego and money thing with this Ventura guy left a bad taste in my mouth. That and I remember another war we did the body count thing, its a bad way to go about business. But where the book, the movie, and Eastwood gets it right is the incredible suffering our troops go thru in these foreign war's, especially in that part of the world where Ive personally experienced the unrelenting hate. I suspect that was Kyles main purpose, and why he died the way he did. Helping other Vet's cope.
That should be his legacy. Not the body count.
