Factual error: When Taya is watching TV and sees the first of the Twin Towers get hit by the suicide plane, she calls to Chris and they watch it together. Chris was born in 1974 and it states he enlisted at 30 which would've been 2004. The bar scene where Taya and Chris meet was after he completed his BUDS training and sniper school. Which, if was timeline accurate would have been 2004 or 2005. Therefore they could not have watched the events of 9/11/01 unfold together on TV because the wouldn't have known each other yet.
American Sniper (2014)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes
Chris is seen leaving the house, to join a fellow vet, to go somewhere. We can't hear properly what they are saying, as Chris moves closer to him and the microphone is with Chris's wife, who stands at the front door, watching her husband walk away and she has a strange look on her face when she sees the other man's face, body and his posture - is she getting a signal to stop Chris leaving? On the screen, we read how Chris was killed that day by a fellow vet; we don't know if it was the same one who came over that day. Along the route that the hearse and an escort take to deliver Chris to wherever he is taken, on both sides of the roads are people lined up the whole way, very sombre, and a bugler plays non-stop. On his coffin are about thirty gold "wings" (I'm not sure what they are); we've seen other coffins with five or six on them; we saw Chris put one on a mate's coffin, but nowhere near the amount Chris has on his coffin.

Suggested correction: Chris Kyle joined the Navy in 1999. Not 2004. His book American Sniper does say he was at Taya's house on 9/11. He was summoned back to the base and got caught speeding. Luckily the officer decided to not ticket him.
Marc Lee: You got some kind of saviour complex?
Chris Kyle: No. I just want to get the bad guys, but if I can't see them I can't shoot them.
Trivia: Chris Kyle did not shoot a child as portrayed in the movie. That was put in to make it more dramatic about the choices he had to make as a sniper. He did shoot a woman, however. He had stated that he didn't think he could ever kill a child.
Question: When Chris and co are having dinner with an Iraqi family, why does Chris react the way he does when he sees the mark on the Iraqi father's left elbow? What does Chris think it is?
