I don’t shoot people with Korans. I’d like to, but I don’t.
CHRIS KYLEI don’t shoot people with Korans. I’d like to, but I don’t.
CHRIS KYLEWhat wounded veteran’s don’t need is sympathy. They need to be treated like the men they are: equals, heroes, and people who still have tremendous value for society.

CHRIS KYLEI really don’t care what people think of me.

CHRIS KYLEOne was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.
CHRIS KYLEJust because war is hell doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun.
