Have any of you taken the ASVAB yet? We tested earlier. One thing that the recuriter didn't mention is that military members don't have rights!
Military Soldiers need our support! I have relatives serving.
Many Americans, including most serving military members, are not aware that the very United States Constitution they have sworn to serve and defend does not apply to them.
There is a secret unconstitutional law that prohibits military members from seeking final redress for wrongful actions taken upon them while serving. These certain actions may include murder, extreme reprisal to members reporting fraud, waste, and abuse under the Whistleblower Protection Act, rape, human experimentation, medical malpractice, gross and criminal negligence, etc.
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 or decisions.
The Feres Doctrine law was not created by the United States Congress, who makes laws and oversees the military, but judicially created. This law has been in existence for over 54 years, however it is only now that the extent of corruption being covered up is being addressed. Furthermore, most of the tax paying public is unaware of the extreme human and constitutional abuses being silenced by this law.
I found a quote from our former Sec.of State - Henry Kissenger once stated,- "Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." (Quoted from "The Final Days" by Woodward and Berstein).
And even when they go to war - military members are fighting a battle within their own ranks.
Our Congress continues to use American military personnel to provide protection of human rights around the world, yet those very military personnel are not afforded the same protection in the United States due to the Feres Doctrine.
At the least, I respectfully request that you contact both of your US Senators and Senator Arlin Spector (PA) who is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Tell them to ABOLISH the FERES DOCTRINE and Support the VERPT Act!!!!!!!
Tell all of your friends about this so we can help out!
