Original Note:

"160 confirmed kills" is untrue. United States Navy records, released after a Freedom of Information Act request, revealed that Kyle greatly exaggerated his confirmed kills, which was cited as 91 in internal records, as well as his awards: https://theintercept.com/2016/05/25/american-sniper-chris-kyle-distorted-his-military-record-documents-show/ The Navy documents in question: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2841171-Kyle-Citations.html
