I wanted to post this true story for all of you despicable idiots who are speaking on a subject in which you have zero knowledge about...
I come from a massive family of law enforcement. Many, many members of my family worked in law enforcement. Many. One such family member, who was exceptionally important to me, did regular training with me.
The training was designed to be as real world as possible and put pressure on you so that you could function in the event of having to defend yourself in life or death situation. The target was moving, you had to change out your magazine 3 to 4 times (depending on the exercise), you were scored, and all of it was timed. Many people early on would fumble with swapping out their magazines as they experienced pressure for the first time while shooting.
So why do I bring this up? Because several times each day, this very important family member would look at me and say "isn't this relaxing"? Now, I never found it relaxing. I found it useful, educational, necessary, and interesting. But I never found it "relaxing". But this person did.
Which begs the question - did any of you certified idiots consider for a moment that Chris Kyle found it relaxing as well, and thought it would be therapeutic for the Marine too?
Did any of you certified idiots consider for a moment that maybe Chris Kyle felt the only way he could "connect" with this Marine was to start with the only thing he knew for sure they had in common - shooting?
Did any of you certified idiots consider for a moment that maybe Chris Kyle felt that maybe it would be a great way to "blow off some steam" and get out some pent up frustration before being able to make real progress?
Of course not. And you know why? Because none of you idiots have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. Not one of you has ever even shot a gun, much less served in combat. Yet, strangely, you're all willing to ACT like you know what you're talking about and condemn Chris Kyle for taking this Marine to a shooting range - as if you know what that or the PTSD is all about.
