Ron Paul said:

Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

I entirely agree with Ron Paul in regards to the ridiculousness of treating PTSD at a firing range. I think that's incredibly dangerous, and irresponsible. But what I don't agree with, is the claim that the adage, "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword" was appropriate. I've never been a fan of Ron Paul's ego, and righteous approach to politics and philosophies of governance, he says a lot of ignorant things. You can add this to the list.

I don't think he would have made this comment if he had a future in politics, but maybe. Either way, sad.

Wasn't Ron Paul in the Air Force? Why hasn't he crashed a plane into a mountain yet?

That saying has been around for who knows how long back, mabey back to Roman times. It has survived this long because its true. Im not a RP fan but the adage is perfectly right and applies.

I concur. This is a true adage; a statement of wisdom. It is here to help us.
I see this tweet was pounced upon by the usual suspects, conservative news outlets such as Huffington and Fox.
Here is an example of a tactical trend in media. If one points out Truth, and it is contrary to the media agenda, they pull this sort of insensitivity accusation card.
I think we saw this in the wake of 9/11, Sandy Hook, and certainly other events. One who intelligently questions an event, or even states a Common Universal Wisdom, can be rejected, marginalized, and ridiculed; labeled as unpatriotic or insensitive. The media uses emotion to manipulate, and disguise truths which may reside in plain sight, essentially by saying, 'you may not think that, it is un American, or inhumane.' So people allow emotions to supersede rationality, and submit to the media's mind.
I am only beginning to rant.
I think we know from Ron Paul's works that he is hardly lacking of compassion.

im not pro or against RP, i have never met him. The saying live by the sword however was used perfectly in the right context of situation. The main media can be trolls on the truth at times but then most people know that.

I disagree that Dr.Paul would not have made this very accurate statement if he was running for office.
Dr. Paul has always been an open book and honest as far as I can tell, this is why he has never been a president, he's not willing to bow and scrape.
The murderer in question embraced the title "devil of ramadi" and bragged about his 160 kills.
These are not the traits I would want of my friends or family, and they are not the traits of a human being.
The murderer in question did four tours he was having so much fun on his "human hunting" military paid vacation.
If this murderer had done this on his home soil against invaders, then I would support him.
Problem is, he was murdering true freedom fighters just defending their own home soil.
Dr. Paul was right, live by the sword and die by the sword.
