Chris Kyle, the now-deceased Navy SEAL who is celebrated in Clint Eastwoods movie American Sniper was a proved liar. Jesse Ventura, the former military man, wrestler and governor of Minnesota, sued Kyle before he died, claiming that he defamed Ventura in his memoir, American Sniper. Kyle claims to have punched out Ventura in a bar after Ventura bad-mouthed the troops whod been sent to Iraq. Kyle was killed before the trial, but a jury determined that none of what he had written about Ventura was true and awarded Ventura $1.8 million. Because hes a proved liar, we should be awfully skeptical about Kyles claim that the U.S. government sent him into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. They perched him atop the Superdome, he said, and it was from there that he picked off 30 looters in the city.
