Except in the context of employment such matters go through another process described in the link you provided. You are wrong and Toadbrother is right.

Your logic is convoluted and makes no sense.

So when Toadbrother says "I mean, soldiers are not allowed to sue the government" he is correct.

No. I am pointing out that your domestic law does not include private armies.

You might want to acquaint yourself with the events in Iraq and the activities of Blackwater employees while acting in Iraq. By the way how are employment conditions enforced in the American military?

Are private armies like those of Eric Prince immune from prosecution?

We get more than enough of the Republican riff raff up here.

Other than unsubstantiated allegations you offer nothing of substance.

Why would it matter if some were from Canada?

You may be right but the fallout from such egregious conduct is quite obvious.

Up to 100,000 protest Wisconsin law curbing unions By James B. Kelleher MADISON, Wis., March 12 (Reuters) - Up to 100,000 people protested at the Wisconsin state Capitol on Saturday against a new law curbing the union rights of public workers that is seen as one of the biggest challenges in decades facing U.S. organized labor. Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain estimated the crowd at 85,000 to 100,000 people, which would top the size of protests in Madison during the Vietnam War. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/13/usa-wisconsin-idUSN1227540420110313

This may be a bit off topic but I was watching Suze Orman on PBS speaking to an audience in Minnesota about the new reality in the Unites States of America and the paradigm shift in attitudes toward home ownership and debt. Here is a link to that program http://www.pbs.org/about/news/archive/2011/suze-orman-money-class/ With regard to the topic at hand there is very little doubt that large scale fraud occurred and most of it resided in the investment banks with many of its representative praying on the poor to gain extremely lucrative returns. That many of these individuals who created the financial meltdown escaped prosecution is a reflection of the dysfunctional nature of the American financial system. Meanwhile many citizens are out on the street and many others are at various stages of foreclosure.

I would like to see the tax loopholes for the rich tightened up, more tax brackets for the higher income individuals and put a stop to the huge subsidies provided to industries like the oil and gas industry. In addition a guaranteed annual income should be implemented modeled along the lines of that in Manitoba in the 1970s. Dividend income should be taxed at a higher rate and a tobin tax should be instituted. While there is certainly room for improvement in bringing immigrants to Canada it would seem to me demographics dictate an ample number of immigrants of working age will be required to support the aging population of Canada. Such measures would bring the needed finacial resources which then would be allocated to affordable housing, health and education. I would also trim military expenditures and stop the purchase of the F35 aircrafts.

That is because this inconvenient truth runs counter to your right wing ideology.

I notice you have failed to answer the question Topaz raised with you. The reason for that is obvious. In your zeal ro demonize the labour movement you have, once again, overstated your position and have no proof to support your false claim.

Nothing corrupt about the unions in Wisconsin or Canada. I am retired and living on my defined benefit pension plan. What you do with your life is your business.

Were you born stupid or do you just practice at being stupid?

You don't know much. The labour movement here in Canada will be collaborating with the union movement in Wisconsin and elsewhere.

In Canada we have a vibrant trade union movement and a more mature outlook on unions than the one you portray.

Maybe in that fantasyland you occupy. Of course you should know what you preach is a myth.

The Hoffa family currently has a member of the family actively involved in helping working folks in their battle against greedy capitalists. I notice there are a fair number of Republican criminals like Tom Delay residing in crowbar hotel.

No. The unions are a countervailing balance to the evils of unfettered capitalism and the inequities that brings about.

President Obama tells us that he’s asked the Pentagon whether the conditions of confinement of Bradley Manning, the soldier charged with leaking state secrets, "are appropriate and are meeting our basic standards. They assure me that they are." If Obama believes that, he’ll believe anything. I would hope he would know better than to ask the perpetrators whether they’ve been behaving appropriately. I can just hear President Nixon saying to a press conference the same thing: "I was assured by the the White House Plumbers that their burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s doctor in Los Angeles was appropriate and met basic standards." http://original.antiwar.com/daniel-ellsberg/2011/03/11/this-shameful-abuse-of-bradley-manning/
