Actor Val Kilmer Governor of New Mexico?

Val Kilmer thinks he's qualified to be a leader and is reported to be seriously considering a run for Governor of New Mexico in 2010.

Good luck with that.

But he won't get any votes from Vietnam vets!

Before anyone considers voting him take a look at his interview for Esquire magazine :

Klosterman: You mean you think you literally had the same experience as Doc Holliday?

Kilmer: Oh, sure. It's not like I believed that I shot somebody, but I absolutely know what it feels like to pull the trigger and take someone's life.

Klosterman: You understand how it feels to shoot someone as much as a person who has actually committed a murder?

Kilmer: I understand it more. It's an actor's job. A guy who's lived through the horror of Vietnam has not spent his life preparing his mind for it. He's some punk. Most guys were borderline criminal or poor, and that's why they got sent to Vietnam. It was all the poor, wretched kids who got beat up by their dads, guys who didn't get on the football team, couldn't finagle a scholarship. They didn't have the emotional equipment to handle that experience. But this is what an actor trains to do. I can more effectively represent that kid in Vietnam than a guy who was there.

Ahem, wow, it's nice to see how he feels about our military.

I can more effectively represent that kid in Vietnam than a guy who was there.

Really? You think very highly of yourself there Val.

Kilmer, will never have the courage of their convictions to actually do something honorable as he obviously lack's the essential characteristics of honor, integrity, duty, and honesty.

Kesterson At War (Afghanistan)

Anyone who has been reading Mudville or the Dawn Patrol, knows who Scott Kesterson is, a U.S. photojournalist who spent 15 months embedded with Canadian troops in Afghanistan in an effort to understand the conflict.

Here's an interview that CBC did with him showing new footage and some of the Canadian soldiers talking about some of the battles after the fact.

This is the first time many Canadians have even seen how their military have been sacrificing. The Canadian military were not happy. So there's some controversy in the Canadian Military.

Bouhammer, an American Afghanistan vet has been working closely with Scott to on the upcoming distribution and release of "At War". He also has some AT WAR Raw Footage
