You should have asked me about snipers. My father was a sniper who fought at Guadalcanal & Iwo Jima. He was a professional killer who later trained people to kill during the Korean war. He taught me everything I know about foreign policy & international relations before I was 10 so his youngest son wouldn't have to be a paid, professional killer for the government.

- (PTSD wasn't invented by Big Pharma & the medical industry until after the Vietnam war when the US loss could not be hidden or denied. WWII veterans were left to deal with their own conscience for killing in the hype and exaggerated claims about the war we supposedly "won" while denigrating the victories of the Soviet Union).
Incidentally, the current Wikipedia version of Chris Kyle is my version. I was asked to take on an army of your leftist bigoted troll buddies on the same weekend the Clint Eastwood movie premiered to make the article more neutral (we were getting about 15,000 page views per hour that weekend). You should read the entire Talk page beginning with the Jesse Ventura incident, et. sq - it might teach you something about how to properly engage in collaborative wiki editing, properly reading, interpreting, and qualifying sources, and proper talk page etiquette.

- Another aside: families of Seal Team 6 who died in the helicopter crash contacted me privately to thank me for totally destroying The New Yorker writer Nicholas Schmidle as a credible source for Wikipedia in that talk page discussion. And to this day, more than a decade later The New Yorker article, originally intended to be the "definitive" account of the man, Chris Kyle, and his life, is nowhere cited in the Wikipedia article. [1] Schmidle is the author of the supposedly "definitive", play-by-play, minute-by-minute account of whacking Osama bin Laden published in The New Yorker, that historians and film screenwriters were supposed to use. That's how he got the job to do the hit piece on Kyle. RobSRecovering Republican 23:36, December 10, 2025 (EST)
- But I gotta say, I like the way your Sniper playlist opens:
| “ | HE IS THE SINGLE MOST FEARED AND HATED MAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD, CAN KILL WITH A SINGLE SHOT FROM NEARLY A MILE OR CREEP WITHIN YARDS OF AN ENEMY TARGET, REMAINING VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE. IF DETECTED, HE IS ALWAYS OUTGUNNED. IF CAPTURED, HE IS OFTEN KILLED. HE IS THE ULTIMATE MARKED MAN. | ” |
- Ah, that brings back so many memories. Now that is dramatic writing. RobSRecovering Republican 21:22, December 11, 2025 (EST)
- Maybe I should have just stayed in Wikipedia, rather than return to Conservapedia to debate with you the value of flush toilets and gay bathhouses in the foreign policy realm. RobSRecovering Republican 21:30, December 11, 2025 (EST)
