Reading the not very good autobiography of Chris Kyle I came across this passage on page 235 ("Breaking And Entering"):


If I am reading this right, does this mean that the FBI makes it trainees steal from civilians as part of its training? I tried to do some googling about this or articles that picked up on this part of the book but couldn't find anything. Am I reading this right?

lol

If anything, his instructors may have placed a car in a public area and had him get into it without arousing suspicion; I can see how comandeering a vehicle would be good to know if he ever had to escape somewhere. But even as wasteful as they are, the DoD isn't going to risk having a SPESHUL OPURATER get shot in training because the owner came around the corner while he had a slim jim in the door and decided he wasn't going to have a car stolen again.

But "jacked a car in the middle of Mardi Gras and put it back and nobody saw me" plays a lot better when you're bragging about it later. And who knows what bullshit story his instructors fed him.

Yup, that's why. Even when it's supposedly coordinated with local governments, someone still doesn't get the memo. Pretty harsh failing grade there though, usually they just don't let you graduate.
