In his book, American Sniper Chris Kyle alledged that "Scruf
Face" stated at a Wake for Fallen SEAL Mike Murphy, "Maybe Some SEALS deserve to die." At which point Kyle allegedly decked him. Ventura, seems to think this in someway tarnished his shining image in the public's eye. He sued Chris Kyle after the book was released. After Kyle was murdered, Ventura announced that he would continue with the lawsuit against the estate, suing Kyle's Widow and children...He sued for 8 mil jury took 6 days to come up with under one third of that amount... I am sure it will be appealed I am also sure that Ventura has pissed off the entire SEAL/VET/Human community...Many of us have donated money and /or bought additional copies of American Sniper to help support A fallen hero's family.
