What was Rep. Ron Paul thinking? As a combat veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, I read the news coverage surrounding Paul's callous and inane comments about the death of a decorated Navy SEAL at the hands of another veteran with utter and complete disbelief.

I knew Chris Kyle. He was a friend and brother of mine.

What was Paul thinking? Chris, a Navy veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan who received no less than seven heroism awards by serving as a sniper in combat, saving hundreds of American, Coalition and Iraqi lives, is murdered at a gun range in Texas, and Paul says this via Tweet on Tuesday: "Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense."

Implicit in this statement it seems is the point that it's literally OK now to murder our nation's vets. It would be deserved, just desserts for American combat veterans.

I suppose this logic would apply to law enforcement officers as well since they take on a similar role within our shores of trying to defend and protect our citizens. With the recent spate of gun violence, Paul can certainly now be accused of inspiring other mentally unstable people to attack war heroes.

Chris is a modern American war hero. He is credited with more than 150 kills as a sniper in combat serving watch for American and Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan since Sept. 11.

He enlisted and served in the Navy SEALS from 1999 to 2009. Two Silver Star Medals, five Bronze Star Medals with a "V" for valor and heroism later, he gave up war and returned home to be with his wife and two small children in Texas and open a new chapter in his life.

The lives Chris took ensured many other American, European and other allied servicemen and -women were able to return home to their families and loved ones. Chris was deeply feared by our enemies. He shot enemy snipers poised to kill our troops; he ambushed enemy militants lying in wait to ambush our forces; basically, he took 160 enemy lives and saved multiples on that number in terms of Americans who live today because of his skill and bravery.

Chris certainly didn't deserve to die this way, and we can only wonder what demons this other man who shot him was battling. But let's at the very least wait until the police finish investigating and the facts come out, as they unquestionably will, before jumping to ridiculous conclusions and commenting on what we don't know, can't yet understand, and should leave to the authorities to sort out first. Right?

Regardless, Paul's Tweet was insane and further demonstrates to the rest of the country what seems now obvious: Washington is the problem. Ron Paul is the problem. People going off half-cocked and treating veterans with contempt are the problem.

Former presidential candidate Ron Paul is taking heat for a tweet he sent out Monday afternoon about the Navy SEAL who was killed at a Texas gun range over the weekend.

Chris Kyle, 38, a decorated Iraq war veteran, a former SEAL and author of American Sniper, was shot and killed Saturday. Police arrested Eddie Ray Routh, 25, a veteran authorities say may have a mental illness related to his military service.

In response to the news, Paul tweeted: Chris Kyles death seems to confirm that hewho lives by the sword dies by the sword. Treating PTSD at a firing range doesnt make sense.

The tweet set off a chain reaction of criticism online.

Aaron Worthing (@AaronWorthing) responded: What the Hell, @RonPaul? Are you actually blaming Chris Kyle for his own death?

Michelle Lancaster (@SkiGarmisch) added, Very disrespectful commentary to this man, his memory and his family. Shame on you.

Razor (@hale.razor) wrote, So all veterans, once done serving our nation with honor, deserve to be murdered as civilians? Wow.

- Former Rep. Ron Paul, on Twitter

Calls and emails to Paul for comment were not immediately returned. He averages about two tweets a day, typically about policy issues ranging from immigration to the Federal Reserve.Paul, who is known for his anti-war views, retired as a long-time Texas congressman earlier this year.

Kyle, the most lethal sniper in the U.S., had 160 confirmed kills. He enlisted in the Navy in February 1999 and was discharged in November 2009. He had four tours in Iraq under his belt and received 14 different awards and decorations, including two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor and two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals. After leaving the Navy, he wrote his biography, American Sniper.

Ron Paul tweets controversial message on murdered Navy SEAL sniper

Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer stood by his criticism of former Rep. Ron Paul on Thursday, telling Marine Corps Times the former lawmaker should apologize for controversial comments about a famous Navy SEAL sniper who was shot to death.

Chris Kyle, the bestselling author of American Sniper, and his friend Chad Littlefield were killed at a gun range on Saturday in Texas by former Marine Cpl. Eddie Ray Routh, authorities allege. Routh had been struggling with post-traumatic stress and was invited by Kyle to join him on the range as a form of therapy, police said.

The shootings prompted Paul, a Republican congressman until recently, to say on Twitter that Kyles death seems to confirm that he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Treating PTSD at a firing range doesnt make sense.

Meyer, a scout sniper who received the nations top valor award in 2011, fired back in two tweets of his own.

Hey @ronpaul have you lost you [sic] mind? That sword protected your freedom. Guess since I live by it I deserve to get murdered as well? #wow, Meyer said.

Let me remind you @ronpaul Chris Kyle is an American hero to not only myself but to America #RIPCK, Meyer said in a follow-up message.

The exchange has drawn national media attention in the past few days. Paul, a former presidential candidate, released a statement after a public outcry saying he recognized the killing of Kyle was a tragic and sad event. He didnt apologize for his comments, however.

My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Kyles family, Paul said. Unconstitutional and unnecessary wars have endless and unintended consequences. A policy of non-violence as Christ preached, would have prevented this and similar tragedies.

In an interview with Marine Corps Times, Meyer said Thursday that he stood by his comments.
