In the book " American Sniper" the main
character Chris tells of his story as a Navy S.E.A.L. Chris talks about his
passion for guns and that was what drove him to become a S.E.A.L. And in the
process of becoming a S.E.A.L he is learning things about himself that very few
people ever do.
Chris
begins to learn that his passion to be a S.E.A.L goes a lot further than a
passion for guns, he finds he has a passion for his country, which wasn't the
original reason he joined the S.E.A.L teams. Chris also learns that he is not
as stealthy off the battlefield as he is when he is on the battlefield because
when he met his now wife she suspected he was in the military, and after enough
questioning finally admitted he is a S.E.A.L.
Chris also found out that
he is not just a rough Texas ranch hand and cowboy but that he has a sensitive
side. And he starts to explore his love life and meets who later became his
wife Tanya. And she exposes to him that he is not just a rugged, emotionless
man because he is a S.E.A.L.
After Chris completes his
training and qualifies to be deployed he is going to have to learn to keep
balance between being a killing machine. This allows Chris to value both
aspects of his personality.
All in all Chris improved not
just as a S.E.A.L but as a person and he also got a better understanding of who
he is as a person.
