I'm curious as well, I've not read the book but mentioned it to a co-worker that has and he said those incidents are not in the book.

I'm curious as well.  If I had to guess I'd say they originated from ARFCOM GD.

SEALs were in NOLA after Katrina so that could be true. Not sure about the car jacking thing.

They aren't in his book. I don't know about anything at the Superdome but I think he mentioned the car jacker thing in some interview. I could be wrong about that.

I'm also curious if this is in the book or just something made up by the haters. I know, I know, I should read the book myself, but I'm a bit slow

Neither story is in his book. I myself have no idea where the stories came from.

I thought I remembered the car jacking thing being in his book. Or maybe it was mentioned in a different book by one of the SEALs that had them out about the same time. I can't remember now.

The carjacking story is in Luttrell's book. The NOLA story was told to Brandon Webb by Kyle and published on his website, then later removed.

It's not a mystery, didn't take more than a couple of minutes to find.

I've never heard about the Superdome incident, but the carjacking story was in the book "Service" by Marcus Luttrell.

The car jacking story is not in Kyle's book. It is however in Lutrell's second book.

You agree that it's amazing how many retards are convinced he actually said those things based on this flimsy evidence, right?

Marcus Luttrell's SERVICE is where the carjacking story was put into print and I don't know if Chris ever said it was true or not. As for the Katrina I remember seeing a video where some guy said that Chris bragged about shooting people but Chris never commented on that one either. One thing the guy telling that story said was that Chris was drunk when talking about it so who knows. Whether either incident happened doesn't matter to me.

Luttrell claimed Kyle told him the attempted robbery story and repeated it in "Service: A Navy SEAL at War", published in 2012.

Michael Mooney, a writer for D (for Dallas) Magazine did a profile article on Kyle, April 2013.  He stated Kyle told him it was true.  Mooney did some research, could not find any supporting evidence.  Others have looked into since, same result.

Really, you read it twice? Chris was a hero regardless if he said those things, but I found that book to be a tough read. It wasn't written very well IMO. I especially skipped over the Taya parts of the book.

Does mooney have recordings of Kyle saying this? Or is everyone taking the word of some two bit hack profiting off a hero name? Let me write a book on what I "herd" CMB69 said.

Thankfully, as my ballot revealed, he is not a prospective NRA board member, no matter how much he wanted  (to undermine the 2nd).

The guy told some bullshit war stories. Men have been telling bullshit war stories since they started going to war. Doesn't affect his heroism or stain his service to his country.
