“In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as ‘dumb, stupid animals to be used’ as pawns for foreign policy.”
--Woodward and Bernstein The Final Days in chapter 14
While not Second Amendment-related, I’ve been asked by Leigh Wise to pass along information about how current law “denies military members and their families equal protection and justice…to seek final redress for wrongful actions taken upon them while serving.
“The shameful law is called the Feres Doctrine, named after the young Lt. Rudolph Feres, who died in a barracks fire caused by the negligence of the Army. This doctrine bars constitutional redress of wrongful acts or omissions resulting in injury or death arising from non-legitimate military necessity, purpose, or decisions,” Wise says.
As I understand it, regular courts wash their hands of such matters "in the absence of express congressional command." In other words, Catch-22.
Wise is asking people to help get this information into the public consciousness, and also to contact their senators, as well as Arlen Specter, who chairs the Judiciary Committee.
