While the title of the book may be true about Chris Kyle, it contradicts the main focus of the story and why Kyle wrote it. Chris Kyle didn't write this book just to show why he is known as the deadliest sniper in American history. He credits other notable people who helped him reach the top. He uses his multiple medals and record-breaking achievements to demonstrate that his tactical prowess is among the best, and we let the reader know that the battle hasn't always been on the battlefield. Starting at an early age, Kyle hunted with his repeating rifle and continued later in his life. In college, a recruiter asked Kyle to become a SEAL. He joined the Navy and began a viscous boot camp; he ultimately graduated in the top ten percent of his class. He was assigned to SEAL Team 3 and began his career. Kyle backs up his reputation with his legendary shot outside Sadr City in 2008. He spotted an enemy with a rocket launcher two thousand hundred meters away near a military camp. Even though he couldn't even adjust his scope to get a clean shot, he put it down. This shot was particularly notable for its unusual scope. The average distance ranged from eight hundred to twelve hundred meters, with this shot much further "out of range", so to speak. Part of Kyle's explanation of his intense training was the importance of recognizing rebels from innocent bystanders. He quoted: “take an unwarranted hit and you could be charged with murder.” Kyle highlights the importance of knowing your surrounding area and what to look for by quoting this statement. Unlike civilized people in America, Kyle describes Iraqi troops as savages. Kyle also describes the type of rebels he encounters. He uses the words “cowards.” ... middle of paper ... and others recognized for their service, why does he continue to highlight his own accomplishments? The deadliest sniper in American history should be a proud title to have written this book to give credit to other soldiers for their service, and so they are recognized as heroes. At an early age Kyle began his career of elite weapons skill the book Kyle writes about his missions as a SEAL, as well as the accomplishments he has achieved. With this, he contradicts his reasoning about the book because it seems that the book was for his fellow soldiers, his friends and his family to focus more on the battles than the mental effects of the war. Considering all his personal bests, there's no doubt he's the deadliest sniper in American history, but he doesn't seem to think of himself as one of them..
