Victims of the “Feres Doctrine” Part 2, Chapter 5, Final Chapter – Vietnam Veteran sent to War with a Broken Neck
Victims of the “Feres Doctrine” Part 2, Chapter 5 – Vietnam Veteran sent to War with a Broken Neck – FINAL CHAPTER
Congress has the power and legislative authority to abolish, overrule and annul the “Feres Doctrine” by simply introducing and passing legislation enacting a new law that permits Members of the Armed Forces to sue the Military under the Federal Tort Claims Act ” so they can have “their day in court” just like any Civilian can if they are injured by Military Doctors or other employees of the Military on or off a Military Base. Write your Members of Congress and tell them to enact new legislation to annul the “Feres Doctrine.”
The first space below is reserved for further Military and Medical Documents and letters from Rusty’s Parents and Members of Congress during Rusty’s Service in the Military, among other things, are currently being prepared for posting in the near future. Once posted, you will see that these documents present substantial evidence of the abuses against Rusty by the Army discussed in the first four (4) Chapters. Additionally, there are documents associated with Rusty’s Lobbying efforts to abolish the “Feres Doctrine,” and his efforts to open Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Programs (MWR’s) to all Veterans, among other things.

Rusty Notes:
Having Veterans Today .com publish this story gives me some kind of closure over the abuses I suffered. I feel that all those involved should be in prison for the damage they caused me. If giving the right as a disabled Vietnam Veteran to have the right to redress gross criminal negligence caused by the abuses of federal employees in the Supreme Court would give me complete closure and make me feel like an American again.
Feres Doctrine dehumanized all those that served past, present and future war veterans will always be treated like 3rd class citizens over and over again until the Feres Doctrine is abolished. The U.S. Senate & The U.S. House of Representatives should propose legislation and vote 100% today to pass that legislation to abolish Feres Doctrine as this abuse to Armed Services has been killing our soldiers for over 60 years.
A State Senator back in the 1960s was busted for bringing in alcohol from the Mexican Border and with his special interest he went back to D.C. and passed a law in 90 days plus one that allowed U.S. citizens the right to bring in a one quart bottle of booze to the U.S. With this being said we could easily abolish Feres Doctrine in 90 days. If President Obama really wanted to take care of those that serve he should ask Congress to make abolishing Feres Doctrine their number one responsibility to Armed Services giving Armed Services back the very same rights that they all risked life and limb for and those that died God Bless them as they all died in vain until Feres Doctrine is abolished.

The Chilling Effects of the Feres Doctrine, Why has Congress allow those that serve to be dehumanized by Feres Doctrine abuses time and time again? WWWII Atomic War Combat Veterans were the first to bite the bullet when it came to redressing gross criminal negligence caused by the abuses of federal employees. Looking the other way when millions returned after being exposed to neucular blast. General Smedley Butler said it best as you open up PDF file 1 in Chapter 5 War & Memory Picking Up the Pieces of PTSD tells it all. Sets the stages for abolishing Feres Doctrine Now. This abuse is now 60 years old and on going decade after decade the silent bullet Feres Doctrine kills more soldiers than war itself. Sending me to war with a broken neck had 0 consequences to those that refused to help me in my critical time of need for health care. Dehumanized beyond belief, mentally and physically wiped out by the military endorsed by Congress as they have the power to abolish Feres Doctrine and refuse to. “Veteran Without A Country” is born. Its not about me this story is about everyone that serves.

“Abolish Feres Doctrine Today”
To loose the focus of the real crime, sending men and women to War with critical injuries or sending men and women back into War when they cannot defend themselves is the real crime here and the proof is on the table. The Officers in charge should all be in prison and the FERES Doctrine should be abolished today.
To focus on the purple heart award instead of the real story here “FERES Doctrine Abuses” tells me a lot about who wrote the comments at the end of this horrific story of being sent to War with a Broken Neck.
FERES Doctrine is the Cancer inside military hospitals and VA hospitals. How can Congress say that we are FREE when we have no rights to protect ourselves with the U.S. Constitution from redress of gross criminal negligence caused by the abuses of federal employees is the real story here. In my case the enemy fire is FERES Doctrine which allows Officers to murder those in critical care. When a Company Commander ignores human rights its all because FERES Doctrine protects Officers in charge from radical crimes like this and Congress looks the other way. No wonder why the moral is so low inside the military and suicides are off the rector scale. The very same rights that we all risked life and limb for and so many died for we do not have while we dawn the uniform. No men or women who are in the U.S. Military should have to sacrifice their Constitutional Rights to defend this Country of Ours!
Comments by one commenter were shallow, callous, remiss and stoic to say the least for not acknowledging Mister Rustan’s tragic tank training accident at Fort Hood in which he broke his neck and the Military’s failure to have immediately and honorably medically discharged Mister Rustan after it was determined that his neck was broken before they alluded to Mr. Rustan’s lack of evidence of his being eligible for the Purple Heart .
However, having said all that, and based on the information in this story, I can tell you as a former company clerk whose duties in part consisted of administrating orders for awards of military medals, that there is no way that Mr. Rustan could have been or would have been eligible for the Purple Heart under former or current military regulations as he was not injured directly or indirectly in any way as a result of enemy fire.
Also, Mr. Rustan’s stunning remarks that “in my case the enemy fire is Feres Doctrine which allows officers to murder those in critical care” implies that he believes he earned the Purple Heart because he was a “Victim of the Feres Doctrine” as his story details, rather than the requirement of being wounded in action as a result of enemy fire in order to be eligible for a Purple Heart is suspiciously eminent and symptomatic of the “Stolen Valor” syndrome (awarding oneself a medal of valor) plaguing our Nation today, and that Mr. Rustan somehow, someway, surreptitiously and fraudulently obtained his California Combat Veteran license plates. While I sympathize and empathize with Mr. Rustan’s horrific experience, I cannot condone what seems to be another self-awarded valor medal.
Thus, I intend to mail a copy of Mr. Rustan’s story including the comments to the Investigative Arm of the California DMV in Anaheim in the form of a complaint asking them to investigate the veracity of Mr. Rustan’s Purple Heart Award and eligibility in obtaining Combat Wounded Veterans license plates. And that if Mr. Rustan is unable or unwilling to prove that he was awarded the Purple Heart, that the DMV revoke those license plates and take any other legal action associated with fraudulently obtaining Purple Heart Combat Wounded Veteran license plates under California Law, because “The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration,” and Mr. Rustan was neither wounded in Vietnam nor did he participate in any combat operations during his two-weeks in Vietnam, he was strictly and specifically a patient at an Army field hospital.
Any one else who would like to file a written complaint can fax it to the Anaheim DMV Investigative Office at (714) 502-9755. Or you can mail it to 2450 East Lincoln Avenue, #120, Anaheim, CA 92806-4990. For other questions you can call them at (714) 780-0560.
You can use the the formal complaint form which you can find @: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/inv/inv172a.pdf or just send your written complaint in your own words directing them to this story on veteranstoday.com or sending them a copy of the story.
