It's pretty frowned upon in military circles as well, the whole writing a book and becoming a superstar thing. It may have even played a part in his demise. SOF operators are supposed to be like ninjas, in the shadows type of guys, not doing interviews on national TV.
Just like mike echanis

Some quotes from this hero:

“Another question people ask a lot: Did it bother you killing so many people in Iraq? I tell them, “No.” And I mean it. The first time you shoot someone, you get a little nervous. You think, can I really shoot this guy? Is it really okay? But after you kill your enemy, you see it’s okay. You say, Great. You do it again. And again. You do it so the enemy won’t kill you or your countrymen. You do it until there’s no one left for you to kill. That’s what war is.”

“Just because war is hell doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun.”

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”

"Come to find out, my chief had been regaling them with the after-action reports of my sniping in Fallujah. They’d been sitting around hand-holding the Filipinos and hating life, while I’d been having all the fun"

" I went to war for my country, not Iraq. My country sent me out there so that bullshyt wouldn’t make its way back to our shores. I never once fought for the Iraqis. I could give a flying fukk about them"

"The Iraqis weren’t sending boats our way, and the Iranians would only fire a single shot then duck and wait for us to react. About the most entertaining thing we could do was wade into the water and piss in their direction"

Matthew 26:52-54

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”

Wow man. I wonder how many active military members think like that. All the more reason to bring them home. Not exactly the best representation of what we have to offer.

I never celebrate anyone's death but when I hear someone that talks like this gets killed I just :manny:

Like y'all said. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Sad way to go. He was trying to help a soldier who was going through PTSD.

He was known as the Devil of Ramadi, the Iraqi insurgents didn't know him through his identity but through his work. He sniped people from over a mile away, thus the devil part.

Side note: I don't know why the former Navy Seals are writing books when their operations occurred a couple of years ago. They are supposed to be totally covert operations.
