Last year’s American Sniper, the film based on the autobiography of late Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, has been critically acclaimed and nominated for six Oscars. While some of the film is indeed fact-based, there are also some portions of the film that reveal it is full of lies.

American Sniper, which stars Bradley Cooper as Kyle and directed by Clint Eastwood, has been dissected in the wake of its worldwide release last Friday. To be fair, the film was intended to entertain thus it had to get the Hollywood treatment. While the film attempts to paint Kyle as a decorated war hero, there is another side to the man that does not get shown onscreen. In fact, Kyle’s post-military stories he shared have been proven to be potentially false.

Hip-Hop Wired takes a look at 10 facts that prove American Sniper told some lies and that its hero Chris Kyle might not have been all that he seems.
