Survey Results
Our survey results have been skewed due to non realistic answers. There was one decent response on the other hand, their results show that their training helps tremendously in combat. It is hard to explain how to maintain relationships over seas, and how valuable life is.

In pages 228-304 of the biography, "American Sniper", by Chris Kyle, Chris finally comes home from his second deployment, but he till has struggles away from the war. Chris's marriage is starting to fall apart as his wife, Taya, has had to take on all of the responsibilities of raising their children alone. Taya gave birth to their second child just after Chris left for his second deployment. Taya is becoming very annoyed and almost angry with Chris because this is the second time he has missed out on raising his own child. When Chris returned from the war he expected his marriage and home life to pick up immediately, but his relationship with Taya was at a stand still. As his third deployment was coming up, things got worse. Chris had to choose between staying in the states and raising his family and marriage, or going back into the action of the war. Chris explains how this was one of the hardest decisions of his life. He did what he thought was right in his heart, he chose war. Taya was torn and truly concerned about their marriage. She believed that when Chris made this decision to return to war, that this meant he loved and cared more about his platoon and killing insurgents than he did about their marriage and family. Chris truly did love the war, it's his passion. Chris states that in his mind if he is fit and in his right mind then he should be fighting for his country. Chris assured Taya that this will be his last deployment, but Taya is weary about it. As Chris gets ready to deploy out to the middle east again he is assigned to a new team. The brothers he has fought with for the past four years are now getting replaced with completely new SEALS that Chris has to deal with. Chris knew it would happen eventually, but he never wanted it to actually happen. He now has to get familiar with his new crew of soldiers and get ready to fight again.

In pages 76-152, of the autobiography "American Sniper", written by Chris Kyle, Chris tells the reader what he struggled through when he was finally deported of to the Middle East. Chris could not wait to finally get some action when he arrived in Iraq. Chris had to wait forever and a day before he was eventually deported. It was bittersweet for Chris as he arrived in Iraq, he had to patrol the borders but there was never any real action for him, just a lot of waiting around. Chris wasn't very pleased and wanted to get into the action, his wife on the other hand was extremely relieved. Ever since Chris decided to join the military, his wife Taya, has been worried sick and dreads every time he gets deported. It doesn't help when they just had a newborn son right after Chris got deported. Chris reminisces about he missed out on his sons early stages of life. He greatly regrets it especially since Chris's father was always there for him. With Chris deported and Taya at home with the newborn, it was a very stressful time in the Kyle household. Chris's wife Taya, talks about how she was afraid to answer any phone call while Chris was away as well as how she could not communicate any way to him unless Chris called her, which was not as often as it should have been. Taya and Chris started to fade from talking to each other because Taya was caught up with the baby and Chris was not allowed to communicate with them. This was very troubling to their marriage. Overall this section in my novel was a very stressful and anxious time in Chris's life.

This is a sniper patroling the borders of Iraq, something very similar to what Chris was doing while he was over seas.
