QWhat are the controversies surrounding Chris Kyle?
AIt has been a persistent rumour that Chris Kyle went to New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and shot looters. However, fellow SEAL Brandon Webb states this story came from a discussion they had concerning rumours of special forces soldiers doing so, Kyle himself made no claim to have participated. Chris Kyle did claim to have killed two men who tried to carjack him in Texas but this has never been confirmed or disproved. Kyle was sued by actor/wrestler Jesse Ventura in 2012 after claiming in his autobiography that they got into a drunken fight at a SEAL/UDT reunion in 2006. According to Kyle, Ventura (who served in the UDT/SEALs during the Vietnam era) was voicing his disapproval of the war in Iraq and allegedly said to Kyle that the SEALs deserved to 'lose a few' men in the conflict. Ventura denied ever saying such a thing and would be later be awarded $1.2 million in damages by a court after Kyle's death.
QWhat is the significance of Kyle noticing the mark on the man's elbow at dinner?
AThe mark (callus) suggests that he has been resting for long periods on his elbows, as though he had been using a sniper rifle, making Kyle suspect he is an insurgent.
