Ah-muh-ri-kaaa phuk yeah! (AMERICAN SNIPER)
First impressions of 30 pages or so.
Reading American Sniper, and easily intrigued over the "legend" of Chris Kyle, a sniper from the Navy SEALS.
I really was miserable this week, and I am not happy now.
So I picked up a new book to find some attempt at therapy. I can't remember my New Years Resolution completely, on how many books I wanted to read, but at least I remember that immersing feeling I get.
When starting Sniper, it first felt a little scary. What should I expect from New York bestsellers that brought 41, Agenda 21, and Killing Patton to the shelves? But I was looking for history or something on conventional military, because I was not touching romantic thriller.
I said it was "scary" because it looked from the first few pages that Kyle enjoyed to kill or destroy evil. As if his humanity was gone, so I was expecting some kind of lesson in enlightenment? He did admit that he had a sense of justice (protected his brother and such) and was brought up as a hard-worker like a hot-blooded horse broken for the field, so the SEALS provided him countless moments of anticipation through training and missions. He convinced himself as a soldier that the enemy in the Middle East, anything that obstructed the soldiers he had to protect were the enemy. And that you couldn't hesitate against the enemy. The more you read through the preliminary sequences, the more you did felt that Chris was losing himself. As in becoming different. That's because SEALS needed those who were steadfast.
Oo-rah Southern chest-beating Murica at its peak pretty much. Patriotism, God, you heard it before. A guy from Texas; he doesn't hold back to remind readers the social differences from "Yankees" such as myself.
You can't help but build respect for Mr. Kyle having gone through so much and with a lot of patience, even pre-military.
