How was he indiscriminately blowing people away?
One of his kills was a woman carrying a hand grenade approaching a group of marines
His long kill was an insurgant carrying a rocket launcher waiting to ambush a convoy.
we can debate all day about the cost of the Iraqi war and the rightness or wrongness of it, but in the case of Kyle its not like he was randomly blazing away at people in the streets from a km away.
If the insurgents are giving you your own nickname and offering a $20,000 bounty then your obviously doing the job you're being paid to do.
I think your making a large leap.
And if your a sniper and you're either not good at your job, or you can't do your job then your a worthless sniper
