I went into this book trying to think for myself. I didn't want to buy into all the hype surrounding the book and the movie. I believe wholeheartedly in the 2nd Amendment, however as a Christian, I'm torn on war, death penalty, and anything that isn't a direct path to peace. But, that is naive thinking, unfortunately, in our world today. After listening intently to the 9 audio CD's of this book, I'm convinced Chris Kyle and his fellow servicemen and women are heroes. They love our country, for no reason other than it is their country of origin, and we have freedom. There are many other countries, religions, and people who would love to see all that end abruptly for us. I walked away from the movie bawling my head off. We are such an ungrateful country, as a whole, for the sacrifices made by our young men and women to keep us free. I felt ashamed and vowing to do better to show my gratitude to our military. I encourage you to read or listen to every word of this book. Chris Kyle and his wife Taya have written a page-turner. It will stay with you long after you are finished reading or listening.
