Kyle Lying/fabrications about war service history/awards and citations

I'm quite suprised this article doesn't make reference to certain fabrications Kyle said. He made stuff about Jesse Ventura, which was proved in a court of law. I understand he claimed to have been awarded certain medals, which he didn't get. He also said he was shooting looters during the Hurricane situation in the states, which clearly did not happen. Why is this missing from the article? I would have thought it would be a pretty important inclusion? Clearly he has done some things, but not others Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy section

What's up with the legacy section? There seems to be way too much content about the process of naming a road after Kyle. Wouldn't it suffice to simply say that there was a road dedicated to him?
