Right Wing Hero, Chris Kyle was a fraud.

If you notice a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the coming days, don’t worry: it’s not the End Times. It’s just conservatives dealing with the news that Chris Kyle’s lies aren’t limited to a fight that never happened with former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura, a gruesome murder of two carjackers that never happened, his claim that he found Weapons of Mass Destruction, that time he bragged that he shot a bunch of black people during Hurricane Katrina, or any of the multitude of dishonesties he pushed in an effort to further himself in the eyes of the Stupid Part of America.

Kyle, a dangerous and racist sociopath who said he “loved killing” people he called “savages” because murder is “fun,” was murdered in 2013 by a fellow veteran suffering from PTSD. While his death was tragic, perhaps even more tragic is the undeserved hero status bestowed upon him by American conservatives.

Kyle became known as the deadliest sniper in American history after he claimed in his book to have received two silver stars and five bronze stars “all for valor” — but like pretty much anything else he ever said, that was a lie, too. The Intercept reports that Kyle only earned about half the medals he claimed. While the ones he did earn are probably deserved, Kyle’s dishonesty once again rears its ugly head. A Freedom of Information Actrequest reveals that Kyle actually received three Bronze Stars and a single Silver Star during the entire stretch of his ten years of service.

In fact, the publication notes that Kyle was warned that he was lying about the number of medals he received:

Kyle was warned at least once before American Sniper was published that its description of his medal count was wrong, according to one current Navy officer, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak about the case. As Kyle’s American Sniper manuscript was distributed among SEALs, one of his former commanders, who was still on active duty, advised Kyle that his claim of having two Silver Stars was false, and he should correct it before his book was published.
