Just a little back story on the group name.
Section 8 is a kind of discharge from the United States military due to mental illness and/or problems.
In the 1950s, Section 8 discharges were commonly given to service members found guilty of "Sexual Perversion," and it was classified as an undesirable discharge, depriving the soldier so discharged of veteran's benefits but not resulting in the loss of any citizenship rights, such as the right to vote.
