"The way to have good soldiers is to treat them rightly...A private soldier has as much right to justice as a major general."
President Abraham Lincoln"I can think of no more fitting expression of this country's appreciation for the sacrifices of our young servicemen than to grant them the same rights they are defending."
Senator Sam J. ErvinFERES DOCTRINE
The rule specifying what types of cases soldiers may bring against the government was set in 1950 by the U.S. Supreme Court in Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135, which held that soldiers are barred from suing for damages for injuries that "arise out of or are in the course of activity incident to service."
