Chris Kyle is a Navy SEAL and the most lethal sniper in US history. He racked up 150 confirmed kills by the end of his 4 tours in Iraq. He was also awarded 5 Bronze Stars and two Silver Stars. Kyle also dropped Jesse Ventura with one punch back in 2006 at a Navy SEAL bar.

Kyle was attending a wake at the bar with the family of a fallen SEAL. Ventura began loudly denouncing the war in Iraq and accused the SEALs of murdering women and children. Kyle asked him to please tone it down out of respect for the family trying to grieve. Ventura told him they “deserved” to lose a few SEALS for what they were doing. That’s when Chris Kyle punched Ventura in the face knocking him to the ground. He should have earned a medal for that action alone.

Chris Kyle sat down with Bill O’Reilly last night to talk about his career and his book, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of The Most Lethal Sniper In US History.”

Hat tip to The Right Scoop for pointing out this gem. Amazing interview with the family of one of the Navy SEALs killed in a helicopter crash over the weekend in Afghanistan. After you watch click the link below the video to see how CNN censored Aaron Vaughn’s wife.

Navy SEALS secretly captured the terrorist who masterminded the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater guys in 2004. Remember, when we saw the contractors being dragged through the streets and eventually hung over a bridge? The SEALS caught the asshole responsible.

Unfortunately, those same heroic SEALS are being charged with a crime in connection with that apprehension.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

Personally, I think they should have shot him in the head rather than arrest him. He should consider himself lucky that all he got was a bloody lip.

The U.S. Navy ended the standoff today with a small group of Somali pirates holding an American cargo ship captain hostage. Navy SEALS attacked the drifting lifeboat killing 3 pirates and taking 1 into custody. Capt. Richard Phillips escaped unharmed and is resting comfortably on a U.S. Navy ship.

President Bush publicly honored a fallen Navy SEAL by presenting his grieving parents with the Medal of Honor, and privately honored their sacrifice by wearing a dog tag they’d given him.

The president posthumously awarded the nation’s highest military honor for valor to Lt. Michael Murphy of Patchogue, New York. He is the first person to receive the Medal of Honor from combat in Afghanistan.

Murphy, Luttrell and two other SEALs were searching for a terrorist when their mission was compromised after they were spotted by locals, who presumably alerted the Taliban to their presence.

An intense gun battle ensued, with more than 50 anti-coalition fighters swarming around the outnumbered SEALs.

Although wounded, Murphy is credited with risking his own life by moving into the open for a better position to transmit a call for help.

Still under fire, Murphy provided his unit’s location and the size of the enemy force. At one point he was shot twice in the back, causing him to drop the mobile phone. Murphy picked it back up, completed the call and continued firing at the enemy who was closing in.

He then returned to his cover position with his men and continued the battle. A U.S. helicopter sent to rescue the men was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all 16 aboard. It was the worst single-day death toll for U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

By the end of the two-hour gunfight, Murphy and two of his comrades were also dead. An estimated 35 Taliban were also killed. Luttrell was blown over a ridge and knocked unconscious. He escaped, and was protected by local villagers for several days before he was rescued.

Murphy, who died before his 30th birthday, is the fourth Navy SEAL to earn the award and the first since the Vietnam War.

Two Medals of Honor have been awarded posthumously in the Iraq war: to Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham, who was killed in 2004 after covering a grenade with his helmet, and to Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith, who was killed in 2003 after holding off Iraqi forces with a machine gun before he was killed at the Baghdad airport.

We highly recommend everyone read the book written by Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of this covert mission in Afghanistan. He tells all about his friend and comrade Lt. Michael Murphy and the entire mission known as “Operation Red Wing.”

Lt. Michael Murphy and his SEAL team are are true American heroes and deserve to be recognized.
