WHY DID THE ‘DEADLIEST’ SEAL SNIPER PUNCH JESSE VENTURA IN THE FACE?

Imagine what would happen if a man in a bar told a group of Navy SEALs that he:

Disagrees with the war.
Believes they (the military) are murderers, killing innocent people… men, women and children
Thought they probably deserve to lose a few of their own.
You are probably wondering if the guy making the offensive comments is still alive.

He is alive, and he also happens to be Jesse Ventura, a SEAL alum/reservist and the former governor of Minnesota.

Making matters worse, Ventura’s comments were directed at Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL known as “the military’s deadliest sniper.”

This little known incident was brought out during an interview on SiriusXM’s Opie and Anthony radio show on Wednesday. Speaking exclusively to The Blaze, Gregg “Opie” Hughes explained that he had a tip to ask Kyle about his run-in with Jesse Ventura. So Opie casually brought it up and the story unfolded.

It was in 2006 when Ventura and the SEALs happened to be in the same bar, for very different reasons. The SEALs were holding a wake to honor a lost member of their team. Jesse was in town to speak to some new graduates of the SEAL program. During his military career from 1969-75, Ventura was a member of the Navy’s elite Underwater Demolition Team or UDT (the UDT was the precursor to the SEALs) and Jesse is a SEAL reservist. You might expect that sharing the history of membership in an elite military unit would garner a lifetime of mutual respect. Not so with Ventura.

As stated above, the SEALs were in the bar to mourn the loss of team member. They had gathered with the family of Medal of Honor recipient Mike Mansoor when Ventura made it known to many that he did not agree with the war. Kyle claims that he approached the former governor, and asked him to keep it down, informing Jesse that the family of the deceased was also with them.

That’s when Ventura unleashed more of his insensitive comments and Kyle reportedly countered with a one-punch knockdown.

Earlier this week, The Blaze featured a story about Chris Kyle and his autobiography that explains his amazing prowess with a rifle. We know now that Chris is also accurate with his fists and at close range.

Yeah that's the story I read before pulling the youtube. After attempting to imbed it I give up lol.

While I loved his character in "Predator" Jesse Ventura is an idiot and deserves a punch in the face most days of the week. His comment about the SEAL sniper is just icing on the cake with needing a good sucker punch.

Well, when he was Governor here is Minnesota, it was an interesting ride!

After reading that, there's a distinct image of Jesse Ventura that comes to mind...

He always seemed a bit nutty, but he seems to have been getting progressively whackier as he goes along... with conspiracy theories, especially. That he would think it is appropriate to air such views in a military bar where operators are mourning a dead friend makes me think he needs his head examined quickly.

Not sure how you could not expect a punch in the face after being told to STFU by Navy SEAL. In fact, the warning was probably out of deference to his service. There is a time and place for everything. He probably didn't understand that was a time and place for a punch in the face. And that's probably the best rhyming verse I've ever done.

"I ain't got time to bleed" has to be one of the best all time lines though.

Kyle's book is getting better by the minute and it hasn't even been delivered yet.

I think Governor Ventura just craves attention.

It sounds like it was examined and discovered to be too vertical. Dr. Kyle treated the condition.

If you have not read Chris Kyle's book, its a must read. Just finished it and I already want to read it again.

Read this in Kyle's book, funny story.
