Chris Kyle is one of those people who arguably crossed the line between being a hero and villain to both the American and Iraqi people. Many people would say Chris Kyle is the ultimate American hero, and others would say that he was used by corporate military leaders to do the deeds no one else could, that he was simply a machine. In America he was claimed to be a hero, while insurgents in Iraq called him the "Devil of Ramadi" earning him a bounty on his head ("Chris Kyle American Sniper").
