Suing the Army in a lousy case because you think it is a "deep pocket" is not a good idea. The government has lots of lawyers on the payroll, so it doesn't cost them much to fight a lawsuit. They don't roll over quite the way private litigants do. That plaintiffs lawyer may find out he's got a tiger by the tail.
I hope you're right, but if it goes to a Jury, it's ALWAYS a crap-shoot (especially if their from the Liberal voter-base side).
