One year ago, retired Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle died in Texas at the hands of Eddie Routh, a man whom he had befriended and was attempting to help.  Last April, author Michael Mooney wrote THIS excellent article about the exceptional life and tragic death of the man who deployed four times to Iraq, who afterwards wrote the book American Sniper, and who is credited with a kill shot on the battlefield of 2100 yards.  Kyle was a warrior and an outstanding individual, and we should lament his passing.
