Ummm, this is almost identical to the story Dalton Trumbo told about the WWI soldier who inspired his novel, JOhnny Got His Gun.

If I remember correctly, the soldier in that novel was a deaf, blind quadriplegic who "talked" by tapping out Morse Code on his pillow.

I'm not sure I follow you.

"Dalton Trumbo told about the WWI soldier who inspired his novel, JOhnny Got His Gun"

Dalton Trumbo was inspired by a desire to sap the will of America to defend itself against the Soviet Union, the filthy, rotten, treasonous scumbag.
