Taft takes out an insurance policy on his wife,Kathryn,when he learns that she is to be stationed in another country that is at war.She gets killed while on duty in the war zone.Can Taft collect on the life insurance policy? Explain.

Taft likely cannot collect on the life insurance policy in this case.Life insurance policies usually include an exemption from liability in times of war.The exemption states that the insurer will not be liable on the policy if the insured is killed while a member of the armed forces,generally outside the continental United States,or by service-connected causes.
