“IV. Recommendations. G. The Feres Doctrine” [1] “should not be applied for military personnel who are harmed by inappropriate human experimentation when informed consent has not been given.” U.S. Senate December 8, 1994 REPORT 103-97 “Is Military Research Hazardous to Veterans’ Health? Lessons Spanning Half a Century.”[2]

In 2010, despite the efforts of some, by their inaction the U.S. Congress has approved the Report’s: “Introduction” “During the last 50 years, hundreds of thousands of military personnel have been involved in human experimentation and other intentional exposures conducted by the Department of Defense (DOD), often without a service member’s knowledge or consent.” and “…most Americans would agree that the use of soldiers as unwitting guinea pigs in experiments that were designed to harm them, at least temporarily, is not ethical.” Thereby, to-date covered up and continuing are these Feres [1] “to harm” experiments no help as documented by the U.S. Senate Report [2].

Please hold your members in the U.S. Congress responsible for your loved ones!
