He was President of Craft International, a tactical training company for the US military and Law Enforcement communities.In 2012, Harper Collins released Kyle's autobiographical book American Sniper.

On August 13, 2012, Kyle appeared on the reality televisionshow Stars Earn Stripes, which features celebrities pairing up with a special operations or law enforcement professional who will train them in weapons and combat tactics. Kyle was teamed with actor Dean Cain.

Kyle was a tough guy..... He was accosted by two robbers at a Dallas area gas station in 2010. According to Kyle, the two robbers were armed and asked for money as well as Kyle's truck. Kyle was able to divert the robbers' attention by claiming he had to find his keys, after which he shot an killed both robbers. According to this report, Kyle was released by police as having acted in self defense.

He remained in the spotlight after leaving the Navy and wrote a New York Times bestselling autobiography,American Sniper. Kyle was shot and killed at a shooting range on February 2, 2013, near Chalk Mountain, Texas. The man accused of killing him is awaiting trial for murder.
AT ISSUE: In interviews with both the Opie and Anthony Show andBill O'Reilly in January 2012, Kyle claimed to have punched former Minnesota Governor and UDT memberJesse Ventura at a bar in Coronado, California in 2006 during a wake for Mike Monsoor, a Navy SEAL andMedal of Honor recipient who had been killed in Iraq the same year. Kyle claimed that Ventura was "bad-mouthing the war, bad-mouthing (former President) Bush, bad-mouthing America" and that Ventura said the SEALs "deserved to lose a few guys".

James George Janos(born July 15, 1951), better known by his stage name, Jesse Ventura, is an American politician, actor, author, naval veteran, and former professional wrestler who served as the 38thGovernor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.

 Born James George Janos, Ventura served as a U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team member during the period of the Vietnam War.[5] After leaving the military, he embarked on a professional wrestling career from 1975 to 1986, taking the ring name Jesse "The Body"Ventura. He had a long tenure in the World Wrestling Federation as a performer and color commentator, and was inducted into the Federation's Hall of Fame in 2004.Ventura also pursued a film career, appearing in films such as Predator (1987).

Ventura first entered politics as Mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, from 1991 to 1995. Four years after his mayoral term ended, Ventura was the Reform Partycandidate in the Minnesota gubernatorial election of 1998, running a low-budget campaign centered on grassroots events and unusual ads that urged citizens not to "vote for politics as usual". Ventura's campaign was successful, with him narrowly and unexpectedly defeating both the Democratic and Republican candidates. The highest elected official to ever win an election on a Reform Party ticket, Ventura left the Reform Party a year after taking office amid internal fights for control over the party.
He has publicly contemplated a run for President of the United States in 2016.
Ventura filed a defamation suit against Kyle in January 2012. Ventura initially considered dropping the lawsuit, but said several retired Navy SEALs including the owner of McP's demanded that Ventura continue his lawsuit, which Ventura did after Kyle failed to agree on a settlement in which he would state the incident never happened. In a motion filed by Kyle's attorney in August 2012 to dismiss two of the suit's three counts, declarations by five former SEALs and the mothers of two others supported Kyle's account. However, in a motion filed by Ventura, Bill DeWitt, a close friend of Ventura and former SEAL who was present with him at the bar, suggested that Ventura interacted with a few SEALs but was involved in no confrontation with Kyle, and said that Kyle's claims were false.

Two different sets of tough guys and a " bar story", right?
Nope, not when someone smells blood or money in the water.
NOW THE MAN WHO IS THINKING OF MAKING A RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016, former Governor Ventura.

Sued the widow and children of Chris Kyle and..... won.
A jury awarded former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura $1.8 million on Tuesday in his lawsuit against the estate of "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle.
Ventura was awarded $1.3 million for unjust enrichment, and $500,000 in damages for defamation, CBS station WCCO reports.
One minor detail........ Kris Klyle is dead and Ventura won a judgment against a man's widow and children. Although Ventura did not show up for the victory lap....... Ventura's family bought a round of pizza for the media who were gathered outside the courtroom.
They say Kyle's book “defamed” Ventura's character. I say Ventura defamed Ventura's character and in the interim …...... I wonder if he is still contemplating that run for the big office? The folks on the jury might vote for him.
