Navy Revises Chris Kyle's Medal Count

Chris Kyle claimed in his American Sniper memoir that he had been awarded a pair of Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars. The United States Navy, after some review, would beg to differ: The Navy revised Kyle's medal count downward, to one Silver Star and four Bronze Stars, reports Time. Kyle's discharge papers had yet a different number: Two Silver and six Bronze, though a Navy rep says that such clerical errors are not uncommon, notes the AP. Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, did not return a request for comment on Sunday. (More Chris Kyle stories.)
