Reflections and Questions

After reading this book, I have found that I have a whole new respect for those that serve our country. I have now seen the things that they do, the things they live through, and the things that that they have to live with for the rest of their life. They put themselves directly in harms way to protect us. Some even have to do unimaginable things that I could not bring myself to do, no matter the situation. 

After reading the book, I can't help but to wonder what things he didn't tell about, and was removed at the request of the government as it says in the authors note. We're there entire missions left out, or even government cover up like some people theorize about? I also wonder if the views and experiences described by Chris Kyle would be similar for other people in the SEALs, Navy, and other branches of the Military. I think that that woul be interesting to know. 

Throughout the book, we saw parts that were written by Taya, his wife. I think it would also be interesting if she were to write her own book, because I feel that there is more to know and understand about living her life having her husband gone, and not know what he is doing most of the time. Especially since Chris has mentioned that the book is for the families left behind. It would also be nice to see how she is coping with everything after he has passed away. 

I highly recommend this book to anybody. Whether you are thinking about joining the military, have a family member in the military, or are just looking for a book to read, this book is a good one. It has shown me that there are things that could be worse for me, and has taught me to be greatful for the freedoms I have. Without these men and women doing what they do, we wouldn't have that.
