I have my issues with US foreign policy but these guys truly seemed like good people. I did not know them personally and the idea of Chris Kyle having killed 200+ people (which is technically a mass murderer) is nothing to shake off but regardless of the politics and all the bullshit, he obviously had a heart. He had a wife and two children and he quit the navy to "save his marriage." There has to be some character in that. Not to mention that he was SPECIFICALLY at that retreat to help his brothers who were struggling with their mental and emotional demons.

I have a very heavy heart about it, not unlike when I read about errant drone strikes killing families in Afghanistan/Pakistan and other violent tragedies from our misguided policies.

It is so tragic to me, so sad... I'm not sure how much more WE (i.e. the world) can take.

I am ultimately an optimist but goddamn this shit is getting tiresome.

LOVE EACH OTHER, LET GO OF GRUDGES, AND HAVE COMPASSION!!!

Remember we are all human, we all bleed red, and we are all mortal.

Bless you all, and take care of one another. Whether you believe in GOD or not we should do unto others as we would have others do unto us.

Peace.

"(which is technically a mass murderer)"

I know this is harsh but I am just sick of the killing. It's life! I just cannot comprehend why we treat each other this way, it's insanity!!!

I don't know, I'm just venting... :(

Yes, and it's really sad when you consider these murders are being committed by your government. Very scary stuff.

Are you referring specifically to the Kyle/Littlefield murders?

My best guess is this will be used as "proof" that combat vets should not have guns.
This appears to be a poorly planned execution, but it could be a setup.

I can't help but think.

We need to learn how to live together without going to war. With technology the way it is and where it is headed, the prospect of war in the 21st century is a losing battle.

Sorry, OP, this is not a matter of raising people's awareness to love one another.

We already DO love one another, most of us anyway.

Please focus on reality - the psychopaths who hold the strings of global and economic power. They are a cabal.

They have nothing to do with average people. They only kill them.

This sniper was part of a secret network of Patriot assassins and snipers that were working on a plan to take out the Bankster Psychopaths and their main Malingnants.

Someone talked, they found out, a mind control manchurian candidtate was loosed on him.

God rest his soul.

BTW...
War is sanctioned, or legalized MASS MURDER.

You give "the cabal" too much power. Plenty of evil happens regardless of their actions. You cannot account for all the wrong in the world by the actions of the ruling class. As ruthless as they are, they are not responsible for EVERYTHING. Understand that. Life is about choices and people make bad choices all the the time irrespective of "the cabal"

Look, when someone prefaces their post with the word "Look", then you know it's little more than a propaganda/perception-management piece. When they follow it up with ellipses (...) then you know they are a noob at the game.

It's OK though. It makes you easier to identify and ignore.

Thanks for posting OP.
