He boasted of his kills in Iraq in a book he had written, in which he provides a psychological 'How-to' handbook for snipers, who must wait watch and kill.

According to the BBC News, "as US forces surged into Iraq in 2003, Chris Kyle was handed a sniper rifle and told to watch as a marine battalion entered an Iraqi town. A crowd had come out to greet them. Through the scope he saw a woman, with a child close by, approaching his troops. She had a grenade ready to detonate in her hand."

He said, "this was the first time I was going to have to kill someone. I didn't know whether I was going to be able to do it, woman or whatever."

"But," as reported by the BBC, "he didn't have much time to debate these questions. 'She made the decision for me, it was either my fellow Americans die or I take her out.' He pulled the trigger."

Kyle stayed in Iraq until 2009. As revealed by Pentagon statistics, he killed 160 people; the most career sniper kills in the history of the US military. However, he claims that his sniper kill record is 255 and seems a bit disgruntled that his Commander-in-Chief President Barack Obama has not officially recognized his kill figures.
