With 160 confirmed kills, Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle has the record for the most confirmed kills. (Due to the difficulties of getting confirmation of a kill in Vietnam, I'm not sure anyone has yet beat Carlos Hathcock for likely total kills, but that is a debate for another time). From the story:
He became known among his fellow SEALS as “The Legend.”
The enemy was less complimentary.
In Ramadi, insurgents put an $80,000 bounty on his head and branded him “Al-Shaitan Ramadi” — “The Devil of Ramadi.”
“That made me feel like I was actually doing my job and having an effect on the war,” he said.
