As the nation prepares to mark Veterans Day, Democracy Now! has learned that Iraq War veteran Tomas Young has died just weeks before his 35th birthday. Young was paralyzed in 2004 shortly after arriving in Iraq. He went on to become one of the nation’s most prominent antiwar U.S. veterans speaking out against the invasion and occupation of Iraq. He was featured in Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro’s documentary, "Body of War." On Tuesday, Donahue will join us on Democracy Now! to talk aboug Young’s life.

In 2013, Young made headlines and appeared on Democracy Now! when he announced that he had decided to end his life by discontinuing his medicine and nourishment, which came in the form of liquid through a feeding tube. But he later changed his mind, saying, "I want to spend as much time as possible with my wife, and no decent son wants his obituary to read that he was survived by his mother."

Young has been interviewed on Democracy Now! several times over the years.

Did he kill his mother first at least?

lol jesus man!

Tomas Young is No More.

My first thought was 'who is Thomas Young'
My second thought was 'oh yeah, that guy'
My third thought was 'that's too bad'
My fourth thought was 'oh god I hope this doesn't resurrect No More'

Your fourth thought = my first thought.

Just glad he didn't die a month ago.

Yeah, if they were still on tour we'd definitely get a couple more No Mores.
Sad story though.

Did Ed have a falling out with Thomas Young? Did he not agree with his stance to die? Because he has been dead for two days now and they haven't even updated the home page. And it's not like Ed missed a beat performing with the who in England and he died in seattle, just very odd.

i must have completely missed the whole tomas young thing because i have no idea what any of you are talking about

I don't think so. I think Thomas' "stance to die" was spring 2013 which he rescinded and said no decent son wants their mom to write their obituary (something like that). If I recall, he attended the Spokane show in 2013 and Ed mentioned him there (and thankfully did not play No More).

Hey stip had four thoughts!

I pretty much exhausted my quota for the rest of the month.

No, More

To that dude who made the second comment.... Go fuck your own mother man, I'm sure she has had plenty of men over her pathetic life, unfortunately she didn't care the dude that was your dad wasn't using a condom the night he banged your mom.... The world would of been better without you.... And some drunk dude had to bang some disgusting excuse of a woman Aka ur mom

I said lately, Ruddock.

Your Kaius account is hardly recent, Alex.
