Watch: Body of War 2007 123movies, Full Movie Online – Body of War is a documentary following Tomas Young, an Iraq War veteran paralyzed from a bullet to the spine, on a physical and emotional journey as he adapts to his new body and begins to question the decision to go to war in Iraq. From soldier to anti-war activist, the film takes an unflinching view of the physical and emotional aftermath of war through the eyes of an American hero. The film unfolds on two parallel tracks. On the one hand, we see Tomas evolving into a powerful voice against the war as he struggles to deal with the complexities of a paralyzed body. And on the other hand, we see the historic debate unfolding in the Congress about going to war in Iraq..
Plot: Documentary about Tomas Young, a 25 year old veteran who got paralyzed in Iraq and became an peace activist.

Unconvincing
This was a movie by war critics for war critics. I say unconvincing because if I were for the war, the majority of this movie would not persuade me in the other direction.Cons: hardly any convincing arguments against the war, timing makes it seem like a “vote Democrat this election” film, sometimes appears as though the protagonist was a tool of the hawks and now is a tool of the doves (rather than his own person).
Pros: daily life of a wounded veteran is shown, reminders of the true cost of the war, reminder of the Congressional record and arguments made for/against, the one solid argument is made well by Senator Byrd.
