Jonn Lilyea made my day

Kris Goldsmith is unhappy. Largely, it seems, because he opposes allowing soldiers to become members of Iraq Veterans against the War who didn't actually serve in Iraq. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to commit murder.

I case you're unfamiliar with Kristofer Goldsmith, here's a vid I shot at the DNC protests. I received a message through YouTube from Goldsmith a few months ago asking me to remove the vid - you can read the message here.

I'd love to have some sympathy for this guy, but I can't, not after what he did, and not considering that he doesn't seem to take personal responsibility for his actions.  If I had time, I'd do a thorough fisking of his resignation letter, but since I don't, I'll just mention that he's embarrassed that our soldiers aren't more competent at killing each other, and he's upset that someone's advocating sabotaging Iraqi troops - something he himself did.
