Supposed 160 kills

Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article currently states three times that Kyle killed 160 according to the Navy, and more than 300 according to himself. However, the first and third time this is stated, the sources don't actually mention that number. The second time mentions that this was Kyle himself claiming that the Navy stated this. Do we actually have any account of the Navy mentioning the 160 kills number, and/or a reliable source reporting on this? Cortador (talk) 11:46, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
