That's so damned sad. From all accounts, this guy was a great guy and a complete badass. Here's the money quote for me from him:

At the heart of it all, Kyle and Littlefield were killed while trying to help one of their fellow soldiers. That pretty much says it all to me.

Taking a soldier with PTSD to a gun range? Don't think he thought that one through

That was a pretty good book. RIP.
Whoever shot him is a pathetic excuse for a human being unless there is something serious going on that we're not aware of yet.

Wow...awfully cold statement from Ron Paul.....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2616520.html Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) took to Twitter Monday to respond to this weekend's fatal shooting of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. The suspect who allegedly shot Kyle and another man is Eddie Ray Routh, a veteran who authorities believe may have a mental illness related to his military service. Paul wondered what Routh was doing at the Texas shooting range: Kyle was the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, with 160 confirmed kills. After leaving the Navy in 2009, he wrote his autobiography, American Sniper, published last year Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

What is cold? He said what many, most, are wondering and/or thinking. The fact that this was military personnel suffering from PTSD makes this rather tricky for a number of parties involved. Was Routh getting proper treatment for his illness? Did a doctor or other medical professional suggest that someone suffering from PTSD be taken to a driving range? Was part of Routh's illness is that he seemed unable to turn off being at war making him a danger to himself and/or others? We night not ever know the answers but I think the situation is sufficiently odd to warrant asking the questions.

This is a tragedy. Someone who earned a life of peace and freedom, helping others causing his end.
