Almost a year ago my wife, an active duty Army nurse and mother of three young boys, was viciously attacked by a civilian subordinate of hers. He ambushed her like a coward, blocking the only exit from her office, sprayed her with gasoline and lit her on fire. He then attempted to cut and stab her with a pair of scissors and a straight edge razor before he was subdued by several of my wife's coworkers who happened to be working after hours. I've kept quiet about the incident since then, in order to ensure the case against him wasn't tainted, but today justice was served. The bastard was found guilty on one count of assault with intent to commit murder. Sentencing to be held at the end of October.
The worst part of the whole thing is that my wife told her chain of command repeatedly that she felt like she was in danger and was not comfortable with the man - a failing GS employee whom she was trying to hold accountable for his abysmal work performance. Now that the trial is over, she'll be working to advocate for legislation that will give military supervisors tools to hold civilian employees accountable, limit the power of the unions within Federal workplaces, and reverse the "Feres Doctrine" which bars service members from bringing suit against the government for negligence.
The story received next to nothing in the way of national media attention, but here's a local story from the Kansas City media.

The Feres doctrine is a real problem, but there are exceptions which I'm aware of as a practicing attorney.

And also, from a financial and legal perspective, I'd encourage your wife to seek a full medical retirement and full VA disability compensation, and move on to another career. A full medical retirement and VA disability gonna be worth about $1 million or more alone and allow her to do something else. That's your smartest financial play right now.

Sounds like a few other military "superiors" need an adjoining cell with the nutzo.
Your old lady is TOUGH! Best wishes.

I would camp out on my congress-cretin's front porches until they offered and did in fact help.
