He's also claiming no black ops,nothing classified.........In my previous business of selling military books on Ebay,I'd probably contact him to purchase about a dozen books...... First editions,first printing and signed(signature only)......... A book like his would be an excellent investment and I'm sure a good seller.......

In the Army/SOF community
is it a custom to brag about the number of enemy one has killed?

Customary,, I think not,, It is something you have to deal with on a personal level,, and not everyone deals with it the same way..

Not particularly in the "real world".
His count is "amazing".

This kind of count has a long history and is sometimes a matter of military record that comes up when someone writes a book and the count is published without knowledge of the shooter.

If the Jesse V. bar encounter is true, that's pretty funny. Kyle got to do what many have wanted to do for years.

"There's a time to STAND UP, and a time to SHUT UP". Poor Jesse got them confused. All Kyle did was to explain the difference of the two.

I'm not trying to start anything here... Seriously, I'm just looking for a little direction. That being said, is his number even probable? I was thinking of picking up the book, but I don't want to waist my time or money on another Marcinko book.
TIA
