So the case was basically dismissed on the technicality of his no longer being in danger of serving in Afghanistan anywise, not on factual grounds pertaining to Obama’s birth certificate. This explains why the Pentagon acted with uncharacteristic lightning speed to rescind his orders to Afghan. Probably direct orders from the top to do it, so that just these grounds could be used to dismiss the case.
Ya know, I’m not into conspiracies.
But this is just spooky.
The Army I was in woulda court-martialed my a$$.
Spooky. (And Tagline)
This issue is NOT GOING AWAY!
“So the case was basically dismissed on the technicality of his no longer being in danger of serving in Afghanistan anywise, not on factual grounds pertaining to Obama’s birth certificate.”
BS. He sued to not have to go overseas and he isn’t going. If he wants to sue about Obama’s birth certificate he is free to file that suit but that isn’t the suit he filed.
Judge made the right decision. Need to find more plaintiffs. Those sbject to stop-loss or just want to get out would be good candidates.
Now comes the civil rights case on his coerced firing. It will take time, but he will win that one.
No need for a conspiracy theory here. Look at it from the perspective of a commander in a combat theater. Distractions from the mission can have life-and-death implications.
The Army almost certainly figured that a guy who would play politics with his deployment orders wasn't the kind of guy who should be commanding soldiers in Afghanistan.
No news about his getting fired because of this, either. Question: Is it only in our minds that this lightning capitulation by the Army means that the beat goes on? What if several hundred more reserve officers take up the call for recission of their orders to deploy ... or anything else?
It seems to me that the entire command structure is somwhat undermined now, to say the very least. Now, what if the Army orders Maj. Cook to do something else. What the hell would be the difference between one invalid order and another?
I think a little accuracy is in order: Plaintiff filed suit in February (at which time he was in no special danger of being called up.)
In May, he volunteered to be called up. In June, he received confirming orders : orders that could be rescinded upon his request.
Instead of seeking recession via simple request form, he chose the Orly Taitz “show trial” route , so an artificial cause of action would be created.
The Army decided his lawsuit was a de-facto request to be relieved of the voluntary call up, and promptly released him.
There was no technicality involved. Instead, there was an empty,needless lawsuit, filed by parties who have shown a strong inclination to pull down the US government. (Check Orly Taitz’ own archives for confirmation.)
This very association may have been the reason behind the Major’s security clearance being placed under review.
The only thing about this outcome that surprises me is the lack - so far - of sanctions against Dr. Taitz.
What about the capable of repetition yet evading review standard the Court used to take up Roe v. Wade and get around the “moot”/”ripe” issue? I would think it would apply here as well.

That does not bode well for the White House should they find themselves in disagreement with the Pentagon.
We'll see more of this.
Somewhere there is a civilian clerk, or a military one for that matter, not to mention several senior officers, who know exactly the sequence of events which lead to the cancellation of those orders.
That person needs to suck it up, and reveal all that. There can be no question of "classified information" involved. While military members have an obligation to protect the person of the President (assuming for the momemt we actually have one right now), but not his political a$$.
