American sniper, American culture, American irony

Chris Kyle had a best-selling book called "American sniper", and a sniper he was. He served four tours in Iraq and is one of the most decorated snipers in our military. But the American culture and the American irony caught up with the American sniper in Texas this past week, and at a gun range of all places. The survivor of the high-risk combat succumbed to the fatal American gun cultures, as he was shot dead by an individual who happened to be a former Marine, and someone it was believed that Mr. Kyle was counseling on his struggles with PTSD. Again our culture makes sure everyone has access to a gun, but you dont have access to mental health counseling which claimed another victim in some ways the least likely and in some ways the most ironic. What we don't get to say is who could see it coming....
