The best things said about it
If you look at something like Chris Kyle's book uh the American Sniper book which you just read in an increasing State of Shock.
So when we have these Heroes that are mythologized in our society and when we have someone like Chris Kyle who's the Pinnacle of what the hero should be from that war and rewriting the history they Rock War I think it's really dangerous.
The book American Sniper, the movie with uh Bradley Cooper, which is just giant hit movie, very patriotic movie about a guy, was one of the most successful snipers in US history, right? uh very successful warrior, Navy Seal, war hero. Everybody loved him. Then he goes on the Opie and Anthony show and he says that he punched you.
