2021-10-13 18:32
Chris Kyle is a native of Odessa, Texas, USA. He was a sniper of the US Navy SEALs. He went to Iraq four times to participate in wars. During this period, he shot and killed 160 enemies. He has the title of "The Deadliest Marksman" in the United States. In 2008, Kyle shot the enemy with a single bullet with a sniper rifle from a distance of 2,100 yards (1920 meters); this is Kyle's most famous record. When he became a "legend" of the US military, he was also deeply condemned by morals and conscience; especially when faced with a local kid carrying a rocket launcher, he raised his gun to aim but hesitated. After returning to the United States, he could not forget the fear and pain caused by the war, and he could not fully integrate into the family to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and father. He was struggling and was on the verge of collapse. But such a legendary figure was shot to death in a shooting range on February 2, 2013.

Marc Lee: Growing up in Oregon we had this electric fence around our property. Us kids'd grab on to it to see who could hold on the longest. War feels kinda like that. Puts lightening in your bones, makes it hard to hold on to anything else.

Chris Kyle: That's a title you don't want. Trust me.
