Chris Kyle

Chris Kyle
MY REGRETS ARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE I COULDN’T SAVE—Marines, soldiers, my buddies. I still feel their loss. I still ache for my failure to protect them.
Chris Kyle
I'm a better husband and father than I was a killer.

Savage, despicable evil. That's what we were fighting in Iraq. That's why a lot of people, myself included, called the enemy 'savages.' There really was no other way to describe what we encountered there.
Chris Kyle
I just want to get the bad guys but if I can’t see them, I can’t shoot them.
Chris Kyle
I don't have to psych myself up, or do something special mentally - I look through the scope, get my target in the cross hairs, and kill my enemy, before he kills one of my people.
Chris Kyle
There's no reason someone who has fought for their country should be homeless of jobless.
Chris Kyle
I don't know if I'm the best of the best. But I did know that if I quit, I wouldn't be.
Chris Kyle

Chris Kyle
Maybe war isn’t really fun, but I certainly was enjoying it.
Chris Kyle
It's not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That's not a problem at all.
Chris Kyle
But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.
Chris Kyle
Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.
Chris Kyle
But real life doesn't travel in a perfect straight line it doesn't necessarily have that 'all lived happily ever after' bit. You have to work on where you're going.
Chris Kyle
In the end, my story, in Iraq and afterward, is about more than just killing people or even fighting for my country. It's about being a man. And it's about love as well as hate.
Chris Kyle
