Feres Is Being Attacked In New Lawsuit

[Testvet]

I know many of you know I am one the Edgewood Veterans and I have some really bad things to say about the Army, the VA and the CIA but the lawyers that are handling the Edgewood Testvets lawsuit for the VVA and Plow to Plowshares amended the complaint on 7 June 2010 and I read things in the new complaint that I had heard about but wasn;t really sure about "septal implants" yea right that only happens in the movies right? No it turns out the lawyers found the Doctors name that did them and that he was funded by DARPA read the entire complaint I knew about most of it and I could NOT stop reading it. VA Watchdog posted it last night I didn't even get a heads up from the lawyers.

http://www.vawatchdog.org/10/nf10/nfjun10/nf060810-4.htm click on new complaint and read it better than most books all I can do is shake my frickin head and that is saying a lot but if the Supreme Court won't over turn FERES after getting this case then they never will

I will sure take the time to read and re-=read all this Mike.

Looks like much more evidence has been compiled.

Gordon P. Erspamer is an outstanding lawyer and many of us are familiar with his successes with VA.

ALL veterans subjected to these types of military testing should not only file claims if they believe the tests caused them disability- but they should keep well informed of this lawsuit.

The Feres Doctrine- to me- means license to harm or kill our own with no accountability at all.

I guess they sure dont read the Feres Doctrine to anyone at the recruiting stations.

Am I dreaming but I was under the impression that there are Bills in Congress to overturn Feres. Course we all know that every two years a bill is submitted to allow Disabled Vets to use Military Travel and never makes it

By the way I am not optimistic about the current supreme court doing anything on this issue

This is overwhelming- the tie in to the DVA----

overwhleming- it will take me q

[Berta]

The complaint is overwhelming with tie in to the DVA.

It will take me some time to digest all of this.

I sure hope every vet here reads all this.

This has staggering ramifications.

Berta I thought I had seen all the evil possible NOPE this new filing NAILS all of the agencies the Army, the Navy, DARPA, CIA, NSC, DOD the VA itself it nails all of them I was shocked to read where they bombed and killed the American prisoners in chemical tests in Australia in 1944, the brain implants this is the stuff of bad movies right yet they did it and they got worse after the Supreme Court passed the FERES case in 1950 but I think Gordon Erspamer has the govt by the short hairs this time I am still in shock and coming to grips with everything this filing spells out but it shows we really treated our nations soldiers and veterans no better than lab mice.....

If overturning Feres is going to cost the government money and add to debt the lawsuit will sink. Congress will pass a new law to get around anything done in the courts. It is not a matter of right or wrong. It is a matter of money. Uncle Sam created Feres to protect treasury. Now more than ever the mood is to cut government spending. If courts kills Feres the congress and Prez will pass a new law that does the same as Feres. That is just my opinion. Feres has existed under both Dems and Repubicans. The motive for preseving it is the same.
