Polish translation:ustawa o ochronie żołnierzy przed odpowiedzialnością cywilną
Explanation:
Despite the act's official title dating it to 1940, its origins can be traced as far back as the Civil War when the United States Congress passed a total moratorium on civil actions brought against Union soldiers and sailors. In basic terms, this meant that any legal action involving a civil matter was put on hold until after the soldier or sailor returned from the war. Examples of civil matters included breach of contract, bankruptcy, foreclosure or divorce proceedings.

Jak widać z powyższej definicji ustawa ta nie ma nic wspólnego ze służbą cywilną, chociaż wersja "o ochronie żołnierzy w służbie cywilnej" "gugluje" się.

disagree  Polangmar: Przecież w cytacie jest "in active military service", to skąd "w służbie cywilnej"?
