–  The Bottom Line  –

This dude is the quintessential American male. He represents why America has always been so difficult to beat. He’s sharp, principled and fearless. There are quite a few of these types left in this country, but you never find out until the crap hits the fan." – comment by Hauschild 

What a shame.  Like most of the media, O'Reilly failed to serve his country by hinting that our soldiers are 'savages' similar to the enemy;  "Don't you think that they consider you a savage?"  Mr. Kyle was brilliant in his answer by as much as saying 'I don't give a damn what they think.'    And O'Reilly calling this enemy "human beings' shows how little knowledge he has about Islam and it's 1400 year history of death and destruction of civilizations.  If he did just a little research on these "human beings" that this hero killed, he would realize that they are indeed savages and would cut his throat in a heartbeat if given the opportunity.  To his credit though, O'Reilly did say that "too many of us don't understand what war is about."  Indeed Mr. O'Reilly showed by his questioning this unfortunate reality.

To all those who condemn this soldier and still, even after 9/11, just 'don't get it';  I would ask that you please let us know what you think only after your family is blown up by ' a solder of Allah' and you get back from the morgue after trying to identify the pieces.  

And of course no one ever said it better than Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men;

"You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall — you need me on that wall.
We use words like "honor," "code," "loyalty." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand the post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!
