A troubled Iraq war veteran named Edward Van Tassel, who’s showed up at Tom Cruise’s house three times, has been ordered by a judge to stay away from the actor.

Van Tassel’s lawyer said, “He is not there to stalk Mr. Cruise as some sort of fan-obsessed person. He wants to enlist him in his mission to get appropriate remedies for soldiers of the Iraq War.”

Last month, the war veteran waved a gun and an American flag on a Highway 101 overpass in the Santa Barbara area and stopped traffic for hours.

This vet is obviously suffering from something pretty major!

Mentally effed from all the crazy shiz he saw in Iraq?

Let’s all hope him the best!
