The Feres Doctrine

What is the Feres Doctrine?

This little known doctrine was approved in 2003 and says (in my own words) that anyone enlisted in the US military cannot sue or press charges against the government. The Feres Doctrine makes it impossible or almost impossible for any military person to see justice for all kinds of corruption including rape, murder, falsification of documents, abuse of power and several more injustices.

Please take a moment and view this link. Read it for yourself and if you feel inclined, post your signature.

And this is very important: Please pass this on. Many of us never know about this law until it's too late.

Historical Fact

"Of the more than 274,000 officers and men who served in the army during the Spanish-American War and the period of demobilization, 5,462 died in the various theaters of operation and in camps in the a U.S. Only 379 of the deaths were battle casualties, the remainder being attributed to disease and other causes."

In 1898, thousands of soldiers got food poisoning from meat packed by Armour and Company and sold to the Army. There are no figures on how many of the five thousand noncombat deaths were caused by this.

The Oxford Companion to American Military History estimates that between 2 percent and 25 percent of the casualties in America's wars are attributable to friendly fire.
