How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that other two factual factors need only be explored if service member’s duty status warrants the action
  • noting in subsequent paragraph several cases that found Feres inapplicable even though the injuries occurred on the military reservation
  • “this factor is more relevant to the decision whether to imply an exception than it is to the exception’s application”
  • the alternative compensation system “is one of the considerations discussed most inconsistently by the Supreme Court”
  • “Some of the same factors that were dismissed in Rayonier and Muniz were dusted off and reasserted in Stencel.”
  • recovery under FTCA allowed because serviceman “was not directly subject to military control; he was not under compulsion of military orders; he was not performing any military mission.”
