Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In light of the above description of the Air Force BCMR it can be said with conviction that: (1) for Airman New to seek relief by pursuing her administrative remedy would not only be expensive and time consuming but also totally useless; and (2) the only ‘policy’ to be served by compelling Airman New to first present her claims to the BCMR would be to so discourage a past serviceman from trying to seek relief from a governmental bureaucracy that the serviceman eventually capitulates and relinquishes her claims in frustration, thus relieving the Air Force of the responsibility of dealing with the claims. The men and women of our nation’s Air Force deserve better treatment in return for their service.” 4 (Id. at p. 336)”

2. ““Accordingly, the exercise of the Court’s discretion with regard to the exhaustion defense herein necessarily entails investigation of the following factors: (1) the adequacy of the remedy before the BCMR; and (2) will requiring the plaintiff to pursue her administrative remedy serve the policies underpinning the doctrine. To this should be added a third factor concerning the government’s interest in limited judicial interference in military matters.” (citations omitted) (Id. at p. 334)”
