Recently I came across a blog post regarding Chris Kyle and his mythology. It's quite the convincing piece. My feeling was that Jesse Ventura was in the right, simply based on the way that part of Kyle's book was written: it smacked of self-aggrandizing.
In any case, he still wasn't the deadliest sniper in the world: that honor still belongs to Simo Häyhä, who had 505 kills in the Russo-Finnish Winter War, and with a bolt-action rifle and no optics! Sounds like he didn't have a spotter, either.
