What if I am no longer in active service, but do something that involves the wounded soldiers or the Federal Government?
The United States withdrew itsimmunity from prosecution in certain cases where service members are no longer on active duty (and, sometimes, if you leave), but generally this is the case when you are injured due to negligence of a federal government employee perform work not specifically government. For example, if a physician of the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital made a mistake that hurts, you should be able to bring an action against the U.S.
