Subject: 'I can't go to Iraq. I can't kill those children'

Suicide Soldier's Dying Words to His Mother: 'I can't
go to Iraq. I can't kill those children'

by Cahal Milmo

August 25, 2006
The Independent / UK
<http://www.independent.co.uk/>

While his peers from St Augustine's Catholic school were
this month contemplating university careers or first
jobs, Jason Chelsea was preoccupied with a different
future: his first tour of duty in Iraq.

The 19-year-old infantryman, from Wigan, Greater
Manchester, was tormented by concern about what awaited
him when the King's Lancaster Regiment reached Iraq,
where 115 British soldiers have been killed since 2003.

He had even told his parents that he had been warned by
his commanders that he could be ordered to fire on child
suicide bombers.

It was a fear that he never confronted. Within 48 hours
of confessing his concerns to his family, Pte Chelsea
was dead after taking an overdose of painkillers and
slashing his wrists.

On his death bed, he told his mother, Kerry: "I can't go
out there and shoot at young children. I just can't go
to Iraq. I don't care what side they are on. I can't do
it."

Today, mourners including comrades from his unit will
attend Pte Chelsea's funeral, wearing the colours of his
two favourite football teams, Chelsea and Wigan. The
Ministry of Defence (MoD) is to begin an investigation
into his death, including allegations that the teenager
was bullied. In a suicide note, the young soldier had
said that he was "just a waste".

His parents said yesterday that their son's ordeal had
convinced them of the need for an urgent review of the
pre-deployment training given to British soldiers bound
for Iraq.

Tony Chelsea, 58, a factory production supervisor, said:
"My son was made very, very lonely by what was happening
to him. He was very sad inside and he bottled up what
was causing it. It was only after the overdose that he
told us about his fears over what might happen in Iraq.

"In training, they were made to wrestle with dummies.
Jason said they were also told they might have to fight
kids and that they might have to shoot them because they
were carrying suicide bombs. He said the policy [where
there was a suspected suicide bomber] was to shoot first
and ask questions later."

His mother added: "Jason said that during the training
for Iraq he had been told that children as young as two
carry bombs and the time may come when he would have to
shoot one to save himself and his friends. I think they
need to think again about the training they give to
young soldiers before Iraq."

It is understood guidelines on training for British
troops heading for Iraq offer no warning on child
suicide bombers. But defence sources confirmed that the
details of the advice given to soldiers are decided by
each regiment. There have been no known cases of suicide
attacks in Iraq committed by young children.

The death of Pte Chelsea, who had served in Germany and
Cyprus, will renew concern about the psychological
pressures faced by British troops as they deal with
deployment to Iraq. Four days before the infantryman
attempted to take his life, the MoD released figures
showing that 1,541 soldiers who served in Iraq are
suffering from psychiatric illness. Last year, 727 cases
were recorded, amounting to nearly 10 per cent of the
British deployment. Special units have now been set up
in the country to help soldiers deal with combat stress.
While services were also available in Britain to Pte
Chelsea to discuss his concerns within the Army, it
seems he felt unable to disclose them.

He had joined the Army at 16 after a visit to his
school, St Augustine's, telling his family the Army was
to be his life. He was at home on leave when his fears
came to a head this month.

After watching a football match on the night of 10
August, he calmly wrote the suicide note, telling his
father it was a letter to a relative, took 60
painkillers then slashed his wrists. As he lay bleeding,
the soldier dialled 999, telling the operator: "I have
done something stupid."

In normal circumstances, Pte Chelsea, who suffered from
dyslexia, may have recovered from his injuries. But when
doctors began tests to assess the damage caused to his
liver by the drugs, it was found that the organ had been
irreparably damaged by alcohol. His family were told his
liver was similar to that of someone who had been an
alcoholic for 20 years and he would not survive a
transplant. He died on 14 August at St James's Hospital
in Leeds after his family gave consent for his other
organs to be used for transplants.

His father said he believed t he reasons behind his
son's drinking had provoked a previous suicide attempt
in 2004, when he cut his wrists in his barracks. After
this incident, Pte Chelsea was treated by an Army
psychiatrist which the family said had restored his
confidence.

Mr Chelsea said: "My son started drinking 18 months ago.
He destroyed his liver in less than a year and a half. I
believe that is because he was being bullied again. He
did not want to make anything of it. He was in the Army,
he knew he had to be tough. But it only takes a few
words. He said he would hear comments aimed at him
because of his dyslexia. He was told he would get his
colleagues killed because he was stupid.

"I support the British Army and what it does. But I
would like to stand before my son's unit with a picture
of him in uniform and ask those who made these comments
to him time after time to think about the effect they
had."

The young soldier's despair was displayed in the note he
wrote to his parents before his overdose. He said:
"Really sorry, mum and dad. I'm just no good for you. I
have got to finish it. I am just a waste."

The MoD said it was "greatly saddened" by the death but
the details of his treatment remained the subject of an
inquiry. A spokesman said: "We send our heartfelt
sympathies to the family of Pte Chelsea. It is our
intention to convene a board of inquiry which will
examine the circumstances around his death."
