Post 16

For this post, I am going to do a letter to the author and main character of American Sniper, Chris Kyle.

 Mr Kyle,
 First off I'd like to thank you for your service to this country and it's armed forces. Because of your service countless military personnel, Iraqi civilians, and others are alive. Although you later lost your life trying to help another veteran with severe PTSD, your service is still helping people to improve their lives, as well as the lives of others. All this is due to the sacrifice of your time, marriage, and ultimately your life. So thank you for your work in the name of the greater good.

Sincerely,
Seth Gerus

Post 15

 So I guess we have to do another post for some reason, so I'm not going to procrastinate this for once. Will I enjoy it? No. Do I have to do it? Yes.

For this post I'm back to American Sniper by Chris Kyle, and it's theme, duty. Kyle about how he loves his country and that it is his duty to protect America and it's people from terrorists several times throughout the book and shows how he is committed to doing this (aka keeping terrorists from killing American troops). An example of how Kyle feels about his service to the country can be found when he talks about his regrets from his service. "My regrets are the people I couldn't save - Marines, soldiers, my buddies. I still feel their loss. I ache for my failure to protect them" (Kyle 378).

  That's all for this blog right now. If you want to see more, feel free to look at some old blogs because I'm not making any more right now. Thanks for reading and good bye.
