Andrew Olmsted has been killed in Iraq, in a cause that he believed in dearly (not necessarily Iraq per se, as he explains posthumously, but in simply serving his country). My most profound condolences to family and friends.

Yet another who died in the cause of those not fit to lick his boots clean. There will be more, until the fire that powers the stars finally cleans up the mess he sought to remove.

Does not trust civilians with small arms but is willing to turn the middle east into a glass parking lot.

You are a bloodthirsty enigma FC.

Andrew Olmstead knew exactly what he was doing, with a moral clarity that BDS sufferers literally cannot imagine. To call him a dupe or a victim flies in the face of everything he said in his final post.

That was well observed Mike. FC sure is an enigma.

Read his final posting, in which he explicitly asks us all NOT to use his death as a platform for political discourse, right or left wing. Let's honor that classy request, and let him and his wishes rest in peace.

Olmsted. Not "Olmstead."
