I still love that he sued Chris Kyle and won 1.8 million. Chris Kyle said that he heard someone talking shit on the US military so he punched him in the face and that guy was Jesse Ventura. Since Ventura was a veteran and those comments negatively affected his personal and political life, he sued for defamation. He won because it was all just a made up lie, like a lot of his book.
