Tomas Young joined the [US] Army two days after September 11, 2001 and was shot and paralyzed after serving only five days in Iraq in 2004. He was the subject of the powerful 2007 documentary Body of War – with a soundtrack that included Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Bruce Springsteen – and since then, his health has worsened and he is currently under hospice care. On the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Young wrote a personal, heartbreaking letter to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
While not wishing Young's fate on anyone, I wonder if any member of the British armed services will write an open letter to Tony Blair as he tours the real and electronic worlds, justifying his decision to act as Dubbya's ally and denying any misfeasance?
