Well I have already gone on a tirade about why I think Kira is a POS in GSD.... To sum it up, I'm in almost total disagreement with DDBen and about 60-80% in agreement with Terra.... Kira was better in GS because his character progressed over the course of the show, he was very human and despite being naturally kind reacted normally (Tooru sp!, ep. 50, the incident w/ Sai in the desert, his thing with Flay) and now he is a self righteous one-man army who jumps into battle and....

oh don't get me started.

Shinn > Kira watched GS before GSD

I have hopes that Shinn becomes a bad guy by the end of GSD, kills Kira, and then somehow manages to lose to Athrun. Him and Rey are pretty serious soldiers and don't doubt the ZAFT cause much at all.... His lack of respect for authority figures is marvelous!
