I would have liked to have given a fair and well informed argument regarding eldridge and edrics comments on people with mental health problems, but you know what? you can both **** right off, you narrow minded obnoxious ars*holes.
So you're 16, school isn't working, you join the army get shipped out to a dust bowl. Get shot at, see some horrific stuff (you know like kids with shrapnel in them) and you come home a bit worst for wear and nobody really understands what you've been through.
