Snidley, I have to pull your card on that one.
Chris Kyle was a great warrior and sniper- Fact.
He is credited with the most confirmed sniper kills- Fact
Is he Americas deadliest sniper? Debatable. Hathcock II had 93 confirmed, with close to 200 additional unconfirmed kills, and he was instrumental in the development of sniper warfare doctrine. So, I'm just saying, Chris Kyle is arguably the US' most deadly sniper.
Neither of these legendary warriors is even close to Simo Hayha, a Finish sniper with 505 confirmed kills during who also did most of his wet work with iron sights, in extreme cold, in a location with only about 5 hours of light per day, and all within about 3 months.
