[edit] Jerry's dad

Reality has it that Jerry Cantrell's father Jerry Sr was in fact a combat soldier in Vietnam and that he has been suffering post traumatic disorders as a result of his experiences in Vietnam as is evident through the Alice in Chains song "Rooster". I think we do need to add this somewhere in this article as well as some details of Jerry Jr's early and personal life.

I'm not sure how Jerry Sr.'s life experiences are relevant in this article unless there are sources that talk about how they affecting Jerry Jr. Do you have any sources? --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 18:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I do think that Jerry Sr's life experiences, both in the war of Vietnam and his personal life did have a profound impact on Jerry Jr. After all, Jerry Sr is Jerry Jr's father. So apparently whatever happend in the lives of both Jerry Jr's parents must have influenced his view of both the world and society in general.
