It was, again, from an interview by a biographer.
Most of the things that happen on this planet, contrary to what you might think, and not recorded and photographed made public.
Sometimes you just have to accept that things have happened that are not available online.
For example, if I read that Ted Cruz took a shit at 8:30 this morning and used seven squares of Charmin, I do not automatically demand that a photo be produced along with DNA of Ted's poop, you know, to prove that it was not someone else's poop.
I did not hear of Chris Kyle until the film was made. I have outgrown war stories and prefer to read other types of literature. I did, however, follow the Katrina storm fairly thoroughly, and heard of no snipers on the Superdome. That would surely have been an event that would have been reported that I doubt it would have been missed. And the story does not claim that Chris Kyle actually was atop the Superdome, sniping at people stealing stereos, groceries and whatever: it claims that Chris Kyle said that was something he did. I deem it highly likely that no one was sniping at anyone from atop the Superdome, but a biographer rarely makes up stuff that he heard the subject say. It would take a rather sick person to snipe at fellow Americans in those circumstances, after all, and anyone claiming to have done it falsely would have to be a biy deranged to brag about such a made-event.
The rest of the video I posted was more interesting.
I do not doubt, as I have said, that it is a well-made and impressive film. That does not make it true or make anyone in it a hero, however. One of the most impressive propaganda films ever made was Reifenstahl's Triumph of the Will .
