Exclusive: Dying Iraq War Veteran Tomas Young Explains Decision to End His Life

[@TheTwinkiefoot]

Almost a decade later and this story still resonates so profoundly. I never met this man but love him. Hope he rests well.

[@robbingreen8390]

So proud of my cousin he struggled daily ... I miss up I Tomas 😥❤

[@Darkness-xy4hi]

Do you think the VA put him through so much because of the negative comments he made about Iraq and being so against the war? Did your uncle ever describe any corruption within the army? Man god bless you and your family I’m sorry he was treated that way

[@egialknight1667]

I will never forget this man.

[@Unknown-nh7wc]

*forgets*

[@sareeyemanusqaame8723]

What did he do? Get injured only to be remembered? He's not even feel sorry for the Iraqis he helped to destroy. In the letter he only cares about himself and other mercenaries.

[@FinkThree]

@@sareeyemanusqaame8723 selfish does as selfish is. Respect for seeing the issue in the narrative. It was all about "me me me me me me me me me me me my country my family blah blah blah" and even after the fact it's all about the same. If these people had genuine compassion they would have never joined the terrorist org that is the usa military in the first place.

[@hissycissy2748]

@@gavinmcinally8442 Not all American solders are murdering scumbags, listen to the testimony's of many many American soldiers, Good honest moral human beings that thought they were bringing peace and democracy, but soon found out their mission was one of evil, death and destruction. Don't blame young men that thought they were fighting a just war, blame the warmongering bastards, that used young men and women, and could not care less if they lived or died. Not one of those warmongering bastards would allow their kids to become cannon fodder, which is what they did to thousands of young men and women from poorer backgrounds, promising college education and all sorts of benefits, which never materialized for those innocent young men and women that put their lives on the line for these warmongering bastards.

@@FinkThree I served in Sarajevo Bosnia 1996 and Kosovo 2000 we saved a lot of people in Sarajevo from getting bombed , mortared , shot ...we restored power , electricity , water supply ..we set up medical centres and food convoys ....the people in Sarajevo had been under siege for four years with no electricity, water , no hospitals, supplies etc.... Two of my regiment lost their lives there and one wounded shot in the face driving down sniper alley to pick up an interpreter...... In Kosovo I was involved in the exhumation of the bodies of the old men , women and children massacred and in mass graves ......we did this so the relatives could perhaps find closure and properly bury their loved ones and to use the bodies as evidence of war crimes ....... As soldiers we don't get to choose where we are sent to serve , most young lads join the army to escape poverty , most British soldiers are the working class from sink estates with no jobs or prosperity....I joined up so I could learn a trade which I did , as an electrician ...... In all my experience we treated everyone with compassion and respect and helped a lot of people in dire circumstances ......we are often sent to places were our role is to provide humanitarian aid after natural disasters or civil wars many times we served as UN peacekeepers such as in Cyprus .

[@winstonwright8374]

My co-worker is Thomas' mother. She's a though woman. And a hard worker at that. Crazy how the VA hasn't changed, all these years later. Our politicians say they "love our troops" but all I ever see, is the VA being borderline useless to those in need.

[@stephencormie9542]

In my opinion this man is a TRUE HERO Rest in peace

[@MsHavemercy]

This brave man expressed the truth to the best of his ability in regard to his care and treatment at the VA. His words parallel exactly what I witnessed while caring for several vets as a nurse at the VA hospital I was at. It was the only time I came home after advocating for my patients, watching 5 physicians standing around a man with esophageal cancer and unanimously chose not to PEG tube him so he could receive nurishment. I cried so hard I could no longer be at that facility. I believe him.

this man is a voice of the true American principals. He went to Iraq to protect what he thought was America's freedom but instead, by accident, helped corrupt that which America is. Im not saying it's his fault. Im saying that it's a shame that good men and women like him become crippled or worse to fight over a cause that is selfish and an extension of personal greed via politicians. Its times like this when I am ashamed of being an American. I hope one day things will be better.

I really do not know exactly what I was doing down there.

Tomas Young, I cannot understand the lack of respect and compassion that some people show you. It must be so difficult for you to continue on with your condition and with your pain. I truly pray for you to find peace and live in comfort. I know what it is like to have a bad decision haunt you for the rest of your life, and I have nothing but the deepest compassion for you. You must remember, we all make mistakes, and that you made the best decision you could at the time. Your intentions were good, and that counts for a lot. At least you have your wife to help make your life a little easier, at least you have someone to love and who loves you. In the darkest hour, all you can do is hold her and pray for better days ahead. I truly hope you find them. God bless you.

[@FinkThree]

can you understand the lack of respect and lack of compassion he showed to people he butchered or supported the butchering of by joining a terrorist organization? There is a level of hypocrisy in your post. Maybe this will help bridge the gap of understanding - It is a phenomena where you have a natural inclination to value the life of someone in your close proximity - whether geographically, racially or ideologically - over someone who is not. He wasn't shooting at targets over there, he was shooting at other humans, with their own families and loved ones.

[@GregLopez75]

This is heartbreaking. I wish the best for this young man. He deserves better in life. No matter your stance on people joining the armed forces, he's human.

I remember watching the brilliant Body of War documentary many years ago. It is very courageous for Tomas Young to use his story to show the true cost of going to war. A lot of politicians don't give a fuck about the lives of people. They are mere fodder to make them richer and more successful. To them war it is just a business model that makes ordinary everyday people pay ridiculous amounts of money in tax and human suffering while they continue to make ridiculous amounts of money and gain ultimate control. To them money and success is more important than human life, and it is high time everyone wakes up to this reality. I wish Tomas and his wife some peace before he meets the end, and I wish the elite burn in hell!

Mr. Young's decision to end his life has to do with ending his pain, both emotional and physical. He does not have to defend his actions to anyone. The fact that his death wouldn't mean anything to the useless bastards that, in effect, killed him, shows that he is a much better person. Why not batter those killers instead of the victim?
