The Feres Doctrine, named after Rudolph Feres, who died in a 1947 barracks fire, bars families of service members from suing the military, even for noncombat related deaths. Feres's widow tried to sue the Army, but in 1950 the Supreme Court ruled that making the military liable would undermine the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act, which protects the government in combat-related deaths. Over the years the law, because of the Feres decision, has been broadly read so as to protect the military from almost every lawsuit involving the armed forces.
