Bacon also writes a second cartoon called Greenside, featuring United States Marine Corps personnel.

Suits by reservists, albeit civilian, for injuries received while on reserve training in military exercises would have the same consequences. Injuries incurred by service members are covered by the Veteran Administration. Accordingly, we hold that the Feres doctrine bars FTCA suits by or on behalf of persons serving in the United States Military Reserves because the same rationale that precludes suits by or on behalf of servicepersons is equally applicable to reservists. Our decision is in accord with that of several other courts of appeals that have addressed the issue.
