Evidence Surfaces That Chris Kyle's Killer Was Not Suffering From PTSD

"Okay, time to put an end to this whole discussion that Eddie Routh suffered from PTSD. For those of you who do not know, Eddie Routh is the murderer of US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

Eddie Routh served one tour in Iraq in 2007, at Balad Air Base (the 2nd largest U.S. installation in Iraq), with no significant events. No combat experience. Let me say that again, he NEVER SAW COMBAT or any aspect of traumatic events associated with a combat deployment (i.e. incoming mortar or rocket fire). He never left the base, EVER.

He held a non-combat arms occupation of 2111 (Small Arms Repairer/ Technician or more commonly referred to as an Armorer). Balad Air Base had a Pizza Hut, 24 hour Buger King, Subway, Popeye's, Baskin Robbins, movie theater, and even a miniature golf course. It even had a strictly enforced 10 mile per hour speed limit! What a dangerous place...

His tour was comparable to being on a base in southern California, only with MANY more luxuries that were catered to the morale and welfare of the troops who occupied it. He was known to be a drug user and a below average performer while in the Marine Corps.

This has NOTHING to do with PTSD. He was an individual with psychological problems that were not associated with his service. So don't give me that bleeding heart bullshit that he was a veteran suffering from PTSD.

He was a piece of shit, end of story."

#4  Everybody at MY gun range will be my friend - now that I have a bunch of acres out in the countryside. Just need to clear some brush and trees for a firing lane near the house...

#3  Absolutely no disrespect intended for brave American Chris Kyle, but not everybody at the gun range is your friend. I generally prefer going alone, and on a weekday. A firing lane on the extreme left side if available, and the earlier in the day, the better.
