Beck v. United States
Pending petition
Issues: (1) Whether Feres v. United States’s bar against a servicemember’s ability to bring tort claims “incident to service” is only triggered when the injury was directly caused by the servicemember’s military duties or orders; and whether the court should limit or overrule Feres because its limitation on servicemembers has no basis in the Federal Tort Claims Act's text and is unworkable.
