Turns Out American Sniper Chris Kyle Was A Bigger Hero Than Previously Thought
In Chris Kyle’s book about his days as a SEAL, he wrote, “I would end my career as a SEAL with two Silver Stars and five Bronze [Stars], all for valor.”
But Chris Kyle’s DD214 form from the Navy, which compiles all his awards and commendations, shows Kyle actually received six, not five, Bronze Stars with Valor, in addition to the two Silver Stars.
Well, that should be the story. But the left, in its ongoing war to discredit any American hero it cannot otherwise declare gay or transgendered, has decided to attack Chris Kyle in order to attack the SEALS as a whole.
The Intercept, a leftwing publication with the subtle aim of discrediting and portraying the United States and its heroes as elements of a rogue and hostile regime, claims that Chris Kyle lied about his awards and commendations.

We refer to those at the "Intercept" as miserable creatures.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." --John Stuart Mill (not to be confused with Comedy Central's John Stuart who is himself a miserable creature.
