Dying Veteran's Last Letter to Bush and Cheney (VIDEO)







"To: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
From: Tomas Young

I write this letter on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War on behalf of my fellow Iraq War veterans. I write this letter on behalf of the 4,488 soldiers and Marines who died in Iraq. I write this letter on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been wounded and on behalf of those whose wounds, physical and psychological, have destroyed their lives. I am one of those gravely wounded. I was paralyzed in an insurgent ambush in 2004 in Sadr City. My life is coming to an end. I am living under hospice care."*

Tomas Young, an Iraq veteran dying in hospice wrote his "last letter" to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.


Was the Iraq War worth it? Was all the American and Iraqi blood spilled, all the lives ruined worth the greed?

Cenk Uygur analyzes Young's letter, and hopes its recipients have the courage to read it.
