Iraq War Veteran, Activist Tomas Young Dies at 34 - News Headlines for Tuesday, November 11

2014-11-11T21:47:03.277Z

Iraq War veteran and antiwar activist Tomas Young has died just weeks before his 35th birthday. In 2004, Young was shot and paralyzed in Iraq. Last year, 10 years after the Iraq invasion, Young announced his intention to take his own life due to immense suffering from his injuries. He wrote a letter to former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, which he read in a Democracy Now! interview.

Tomas Young: "My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who deserved to live."

Young later decided to live. He died this week at home in Seattle. We will talk more about Young after headlines with Phil Donahue, who co-directed a film about him called "Body of War."

DemocracyNow.org - On the 11th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, we take a look at the invisible wounds of war here at home. Since the war began on Oct. 7, 2001, less than a month after the Sept. 11th attacks, at least 2,000 U.S. soldiers have died. Some 2.4 million U.S. soldiers have served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the psychological toll of the wars is mounting. Last year, the Veterans Administration treated almost 100,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and soldier suicides reached an all-time high this year.
