Got and read the Book American Sniper. Per Kyles admission his kills exceeded 250 but confirmed was under 180 I think.. Longest confirmed was over 2300 yards.
He would birdog ahead of Army,Marine etc convoys thru his scope while on a roof top in another village. He loved the 300 winny..
They tried to bring him up on court martial a few times cause when the convoy got to where the dead taliban they found no weapon..the dead terroist buddy ran off with the IED etc...the only thing that saved him is that he had a whitness
So is Own tried screwing him over for saving their lives and in the end his OWN still took his life for helping.
God bless Kyle' family !
