subtitle Hi, I’m Belinda Luscombe I’m an editor at large at Time magazine Chris Kyle’s a former Navy SEAL. He’s also quite possibly the most lethal sniper in American military history And he’s here today to facing difficulties and muttering of friendly fire with 10 questions at Time magazine Mr.. Kyle thanks for coming. Thanks for having me, so we’ve got this new book American sniper it’s kind of not done amongst new Special Operations guys to talk about your your your stuff Yes, it is kind of frowned upon, so why did you decide to do the book? I wanted to be able to get it out about not the sacrifices that the military members make but the sacrifices that their families have to go through about the Single mothers now raising the children and doing all the day-to-day house chores, but then also Stories about my guys who deserve to be out there They didn’t get the Medal of Honor, so you don’t know about them, but they died heroes and people should know about them I believe that number is a hundred and sixty is the sort of number of Confirmed it’s not sniper kills. Can you tell me what explain what it is to have a confirmed sniper kill all right? Well while you’re on your sniper rifle you take a shot and the guy goes down and you have to have witnesses verify that he is dead and Does it get recorded as part of the battle damage assessment or every time we’d come back we’d have to fill out an assessment of what happened throughout the day the time the place the Caliber used the distance he was what exactly he was doing where he was standing what he was wearing It’s all into detail so and there’s that somewhere we can’t get them out of an ad but somewhere There’s a hundred and sixty of those forms with your name on them Yes, ma’am, what goes through your mind when you’re shooting at a guy. Do you guys the first time of killing someone that? You’re not even sure you can do it I mean you think you can but you never know until you actually put in that position, then you do it, and then you Double thinking yourself like can I really do this, and am I going to be okay, and then you’re asking your leadership Am I cleared hot to be able to do this am I going to be in trouble. You know this guy is really bad And then you’re worried When you get home now the politicians gonna hang you out to dry and put you on trial for murder The first kill that you write about in the book you actually kill a woman, and she has in one hand The hand of her toddler and in the other hand she has a grenade Was that the hardest well that kills you how to do I had to do it to protect the marine so? Do you want to lose your own guys or would you rather take one of them out? Do you have two? sets of kind of Heads and that you have your I’m back in America head, and your I’m at war head Two different people you turn it on and turn it off you a little more aggressive when you’re at work And then when you come home You relax and try to be the different person and my wife always said that when I came home from work I’d take my cape off and float on the Dorcas I’d stubbed my toe or break my toe or something at home, but at work I was fine does your wife still have to say your name before she gets back into bed It’s not as bad, but that was even before I was in the military I’ve always been extremely jumpy when I’m asleep And the reason your wife has to say a name before she gets back into bed. I will come up swinging So depends on how tired if I’m out cold then You can ring doorbell, and I’ll be asleep. I have to ask this question, but are there any kills you regret No Not at all Because they you feel like it was either you killed them or they killed other Americans. Yes, ma’am You know you say in your book actually that most I think I’m quoting in most Americans Can’t handle the reality of war and the reports they they sent back the reports being journalists didn’t help us at all Which actually sounds a lot like Jack Nicholson in a few good men. Did you realize that you can’t handle but? Is that is that how you feel that just works just can see we should just you’re on Jack’s side in this one Yes Ma’am you do not think for the most part the public very soft You live in a dream world you have no idea. What goes on on the other side of the world that the harsh realities that? these people are doing to themselves and then to our guys and there are certain things that need to be done to take care of them now if people but if people did start out with the Impression before they had read your book that You were that a person who had killed? upwards of 150 other people was a violent person Maybe you’d be a blood thirsty person I I’m not sure that the book would free them of that feeling I really don’t care what they think of me I? Mean I’ve got my family. I’ve got my friends. I’m not trying to make new friends and the people who if you actually spend time with me you find out I’m just fun-loving guy No, I yes. I have been trying to be a little more aggressive if I need to be but I don’t go around Dumping people if you never got to kill another person again, would you be okay with it one time? I don’t have to kill to live, but you were good at it. I was decent at it What if killing people turns out to be the thing that you were better at than anything? I know that’s not true I’m a better husband and father than I was killer And I’ve got a job now. I’m pretty good at I’m pretty comfortable with not having to kill anyone now I don’t don’t take deer hunting away from me Chris Kyle thanks so much, thank you You

Rest in hell Mr devil
She's not even from America….
Even among his own men, Kyle was known to b a liar. Read his book and any logical person would know he's talking shit, from him shooting 2 carjackers, to shooting looters during hurricane Katrina, to punching Jesse Ventura. All crap. Clint Eastwood should make part 2 of American Sniper- the real TRUE story of Chris Kyle. Id like that more than the first. Just saying
The DEVIL OF RAMADI— This guy shook the devil himself. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING SO GOOD AT YOUR WORK THAT IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE YOU ARE JUST A MORTAL!!!!…Just a legend. I feel that this reporter did not deserve to hold this interview even though am not American but I have respect for people like this. Great great soul. REST IN PEACE
How do I get the book to buy. My photo is from google not me.
Where in the scriptures does it says die for your country? SMH I see why he’s dead & a lost soul
Borat could've conducted a better interview.
To those who’ve been downrange, to us and to those like us, damn few
RIP Legend
Not to into the military just a guy educating himself on what’s going on RIP thank you for your service 💜
She doesn’t deserve a yes ma’am.
My idol
Imagine being a deer and Chris Kyle sitting in a stand with you in his cross hairs😂😂😂 you’re done
😥Her last interview
What a lier
That man did his job for our country.🇺🇸. That being said, just because the interviewer has tough questions does not mean we should hate her. If you can’t take negative criticism, you are in the wrong line of work. The questions did not upset him. He handled these questions with class and even made a few jokes. Mr. Kyle is awesome!👍🏽. Home of the brave!
Smh this interviewer does not know how to ask questions. Never ask a vet how it feels to kill someone.
Good interviewer but like some of those questions break my heart for some reason you don’t ask a marine that I wonder what went in his head when she kept asking like she should just chill with the how many people u kill do you regret it how does it feel
It's funny how people judge these soldier's and have those liberty's because some one somewhere is fighting for their freedom
I would like to shoot that ignorant and disturbing doman through that window.. specially with an sniper rifle.
She’s an asshole!!!
Who lives bu the sword etc etc.
He was a fake
Someone punch that stupid lady already!
I counted 18 questions plus one seeking confirmation of understanding.
Wtf time magazine….. You got to have some good interviewer.
I mean this interview just goes back on what he was saying in that the media doesnt do anything to help veterans. Hell I'm a reservist, trained in graphic design. Never left the states and at one job I was ask 4 times in a span of 2 weeks if I had killed someone. Yes, let me pick up my motherfuckin crayola crayon and show you how it's done properly
that was a stupid question. do you regret your kills? you kidding who regrets after killing enemies. he did it for his country.
RIP brother 😢 🇺🇸 ‼
Chris Kyle for president God our country would have been great
This woman is very incredibly disresprectful. She needs to stop asking what it was like to fucking kill a man. And stop comparing to mass shooters. He fought for our country. You should honor him, not disrespect him. Thank you to all who have served.
this is footage of the real Chris Kyle instead of Bradley Cooper, and I just want to say to this lady that she needs to stop pissing people off, plus nobody should ever talk to a military figure about their kill counts, because they are mainly trying to forget about war, also this is the reason why I don’t want to be like Ellen D generous
I would’ve preferred it if he asked himself the questions.
Dude was a liar now he's a liar who's pushing up daisy's
,,For me, the human being is at the center,, -sniper
I feel I have to comment on the thinly veiled contempt this excuse of an interviewer has for this man. Someone who served his country at the cost of so much dear to him and others and at the end, his altruism around how he felt about this sacrifice cost him his life. It's sad that this glibness shows she sees him as a 'killer', not as, 'a veteran who has HAD to kill' in a forward area. The truth is, she should be honouring him for the fact that the protection he affords her by his actions enables her to ask these questions safely in the West..and take her salary.
In remembrance of you Chris. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
4:59…Like a Boss
I feel like she got offended when he said the media can't handle the truth and sparked her bull shititis! Therefore showing that the media CAN'T handle the truth
R.I.P. Chris.
I’m about 5 seconds in and that bitches face triggers tf out of me
RIP A True American Hero . God bless you sir
🙌🙌🙌in memory! 😭😭😭😭😭 Thanks for all, our heroe!!!!
You liberals are all fucking stupid chirs Kyle is a hero
Chris Kyle: American LIAR. Making bad decisions right to the end.
Did she actually say "friendly fire" in a playful manner?
She's a prick. You could see it all over his face. Yet, he showed her more respect. He took the high ground right off bat. R. I. P.
To quote Justin Timberlake "What goes around, goes around, goes around, goes around comes back around" and Chris Kyle got what he deserved when he died. Chris Kyle was a pathelogical liar and phoney, and is most likely guilty of numerous other disgusting things too filthy to imagine. Hes been beyond exposed but a few neckbeards and geeks online still defend this loser. There are so many better real American hereoes I don't know why the media tried to build this guy up as a hero when hes nothing more than a stoog and a liar.
We know now he was a big liar
Absolute gentleman. May he rest in peace.
He’s not a killer, he’s a fighter.
Glorified murderer
The interviewer looks like a freshly resurrected corpse
Izzy Osborne is conducting interviews now?
Let’s talk about the punch 🤛🤯 why would he lie about punching Jessie Ventura
Fuckin liberal snowflake interviewer
I think you need to retitle this; "15 questions and a couple of inquisitive statements" just sayin'
I respect his accomplishments as a patriot and soldier but, his book and lawsuit with Jesse Ventura make his story’s so unbelievable. Now I believe he had mental issues though.
Lady is bullshit ..
If i ever have a chance to slap this lady on her face i 'll do it
Wtf kind of questions are these? Bro who CLEARED THISSS.
Horrible interview & inappropriate questions
Any sniper will have some regret about some of his shots it wouldn't be true otherwise.
Who lives by the sword dies by the sword
This woman should spend a day in the Middle East and maybe she’ll learn some respect
There's better questions than to ask about killing. He took that real calmly and that's what was great about him. I'll bet he really was a nice guy to be around. It doesn't matter how many kills he got or what people want to know how killing felt, he had a job to do to stop evil from continuing to destroy good people and protect those he cared about. Rest in Peace.🇺🇸
Look at him smirking when asked about killing people.
great man, sad that he must die because of an veteran of his country…
This woman is very ugly in everything…the way she speaks, the way she looks, and most importantly the way she is on the inside
What a psycho liberal bitch
This man is a true hero!! R.I.P Chris Kyle 🙏 😇♥
RIP, a true American Hero
Him: acting like a tough guy
Me: LOLing after he got shot by another "hero" 😅😂😂😂😂😂
What an ignorant and nasty woman. She was speaking to a hero and trying to vilify him. Shame on TIME for airing this and shame on her for such a biased interview.
Damn he killed 160 people and walking around as a normal person
Well not anymore
I love this guy so much! 6 years has gone by and here I am watching this video and “American Sniper” all again. Thank you for everything Mr Kyle.
He has the punisher skull attached to his cap. My man!
This lady was very disrespectful trying to get him to twist his words and somehow get bad press on him for just doing what he had to do to get home safely
Reporter is stupid. Irks me big time
good job
Juba joined the lobby
criminal
Lying piece of shit.
she is a fucking slimy piece of shit
she should not have asked some of these questions just out of respect. That being said, he handled it incredibly well and kept his cool. Especially asking about shooting that women in the beginning of the book. Like really lady?
I have very high respect for Chris Kyle, even though I don't like guns. I think the questions are a bit disrespect, but I understand why people think that, if you never had to be in the milliary, you will never understand. And if we don't have them serving for the country, our freedom and safety will be long gone. Thanks CK, RIP.
One cool cat, no apologies doing what needed to be done.r.i.p. and God bless chief.
She is disrespectful. He is a hero. RIP
It would be hard to kill a North Korean soldier, as he is most likely a regular person being forced to fight just so his family isn't imprisoned…but terrorists who behead anyone who doesn't agree, dismember and rape women and children, and kill while tarnishing the name of God would not be hard to kill. It's hard to even view them as people.
Murderer
he's a liar
This woman sucks
I love how this hero shut down this uneducated reporter
Lol people who actually still support Chris Kyle shows you how well propaganda can brainwash you.
Few things more infuriating than a Godless condescending arrogant leftist who attempts to grant themselves moral authority over a hero like Kyle
https://youtu.be/WRADEtBzQFc
4:35 and 5:20 are two of the most rude questions I’ve ever heard
I really admired Chris Kyle for his service. He did only his duty to protect his soldiers and other souls. You and your family sacrifices is selfless love for the country. I know that he will answer those questions to his creator every time he pulled-up the trigger. To me Chris Kyle life and bravery is extremely inspiring. As I read his book"American Sniper". I feel the sense and meaning of being in NAVY SEAL service and all of men who fought for freedom, order and justice. Thank you Mr. Chris Kyle…and to all the SOLDIERS who were in service and Fallen Soldiers. God Jesus will bless us all and keep us safe.
my dear lady, what about.. you go by yourself in the war zone in iraq and make sure that all of your fckn questions are needed and make any sense!
omg….. i am not an american, i am from chile, went trough naval school, and am watching this interview after watching the film about this amazing soldier, i am disgusted by this woman….. how does she dare to call him a killer???…. omg i am sorry this soldier had to go through an interview like this one… even how she starts the interview, like war is a game….. idk if i am the onlyone but i feel geniunly disgusted,……………..
descanza en paz, espero que dios te haya recibido con los brazos abiertos
