Rob Lamb: Time to show what you’re made of
Admiral Michael Mullen, CJCS General James E Cartwright USMC, VCJCS General George W. Casey, Jr. USA Admiral Gary Roughead, USN General Norton A. Schwartz, USAF General James T. Conway, USMC
Gentlemen:
We are now in a situation where those who desire to extricate themselves from the War On Terror, or any other military obligation, may do so by challenging their orders. All one needs to do is question the legitimacy of the alleged president, Soetoro, and they are immediately released. What will you do if all the military want to know the truth? What will you do then? Should not they expect their orders to be legal? Every person in the military should resist, barring absolute proof. If only our military had hundreds of thousands of others with Major Stefan Frederick Cook’s bravery.
Show us, gentlemen, that you, too, have that bravery. Show the American People that you are not just armchair generals, happy to collect your paychecks, waiting to retire. Show us that you indeed have some testicular fortitude and the ‘guts’ for which our military is known. Show us you give a ****.
You cannot allow this wound to fester. It is Soetoro, at the top, who must prove himself. Not the other way around. With every **** ‘i’ dotted, and ‘t’ crossed; all the way back to August 4, 1961, from Kenya, to Hawaii, to Indonesia, the passports, the Selective Service application, through school. All of it. ALL OF IT.
The American People cannot depend on Robert Gates. He has licked every boot he ever encountered, for administrations reaching back to when he first joined the CIA. Suckling at the government teat for one’s entire adult life tends to alter the ego, mettle, and judgment. He is worthless.
At one time, there were hopes for Colin Powell. I cannot believe I wrote, begging McCain to put him on the ticket, as V.P., last fall. It turns out he is merely a sycophantic racist; one who now has regrets, or ‘concerns‘. As if that will help this country now. That moron helped put the U.S. on the road to hell.
Congress, for the most part, is nothing but a miserable pathetic collection of spineless, weak political slugs. Possibly you can discern my measurement of Congress’ usefulness.
To keep this drip from becoming a torrent, you must demand that Soetoro prove his legitimacy, once and for all. First, he should be a citizen of the United States, incredibly, even that is questionable. But, to be president, he must have two citizen parents. He can be given the benefit of the doubt on the other two requirements. World leaders and intelligence agencies know he is a fraud. Foreign populations have been informed by their media, and know him to be a fraud. Our own CIA and FBI know he is a fraud. Millions of Americans know he is a fraud. Major Cook knows he is a fraud. I’m of the opinion you gentlemen also know he is a fraud.
Honduras. Could this tiny, poor, third world DEMOCRACY be a model for the United States of America? I can’t believe I just wrote that down. Yet that country was not going to allow a president usurp power he did not constitutionally possess, as we have. The Honduran Army was forced to step in and correct the situation, and immediately turn over the reins of power to legitimate officeholders. Their military were true leaders. A coups? No. A correction.
You could achieve the same thing by demanding honesty, truth, and transparency of Soetoro. Demand his bona fides. Prove to the American People that you are leaders. Prove to the American People that you are patriots worthy of the medals on your chests. Or return them as undeserved.
We learn, today, that DOD’s Defense Security Services Agency has demanded that Simtech CEO, Larry Grice, terminate Major Stefan Frederick Cook, and that his security clearances have been revoked. Despicable mistreatment of a true hero. What about the very idea that the military must follow legal orders? How the hell do they know the orders are legal if they don’t ask? Doesn’t this violate the whistle blower protections afforded anybody who works for the government? Yes, soldiers who work for the military, work for the government.
This hero, Major Cook, swore to uphold the Constitution, not a phony president. For doing his job, for protecting the Constitution, he is felled, as if by an enemy bullet, but it turns out to be friendly fire. The despicable coward who ordered this treatment of him should be hanged. By destroying Cook, an illegal order is executed; exactly what Cook was trying to avoid.
He is the hero, the patriot, you gentlemen will never be.
Yours very truly,

Don’t hold your breath. Those guys got to where they are by being yes-men, butt-boys and charming at cocktail parties. Courage is the last thing on their minds.
DOD plays a dirty game.
Not for nothing, the Major volunteered for Afghanistan. He then requested that his status be changed, which it was.
The lawsuit was then moot.
This had nothing to do with Obaman intervening. It had to do with the Major having a crappy lawyer.
What kind of discourse is this? It suggests the writer is an idiot and anyone receiving such a letter just round files it.
Patton didn’t think so. Most of the officers nowadays are not Patton though.
Bill Richardson knew he was an immigrant. Hillary and Bill must have the most dirt on him.
Waiting for the dyke to burst.
What kind of discourse is this? It suggests the writer is a patriot and anyone not acting on such a letter is a coward.
registration. One does not apply to Selective Service.
“What kind of discourse is this? It suggests the writer is a patriot and anyone not acting on such a letter is a coward.”
And a Traitor.
Not that they’d have taken it seriously in the first place, but the use of “Soetoro” in place of Obama would mark the author as a whackadoodle...
Dear Friend:
Was this courageous letter actually sent to anyone at the Pentagon or anywhere? Or were you simply venting on FR?
I hope it was the former.
Thank you.
The dismissal, however, did rest on your logic, notably, "no orders, therefore no merit" (my emphasis).
There are other freepers who believe the lawsuit is moot; I do not think this is the case. Any input from legally trained freepers on this would be invaluable.

“...If only our military had hundreds of thousands of others with Major Stefan Frederick Cook’s bravery....”
Nothing against Cook, but our military is FILLED with men and women with bravery beyond this.
I get your point, but that implication cannot stand.

Two more officers join suit challenging Obama’s citizenship
There are some more twists and turns this morning in the ongoing saga of an Army reservist who has challenged his ordered deployment to Afghanistan by arguing that President Obama is not a legal citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to be president and commander-in-chief.
A retired two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant general have now joined the case, the Ledger-Enquirer newspaper of Columbus, Ga., which originally broke the story, reports.
The hearing on U.S. Army reservist Major Stefan Frederick Cook’s initial request to block his deployment is scheduled to be heard today.
The Army, however, has already revoked Cook’s mobilization order. In the government’s response to the suit, the government said, “The Commanding General of SOCCENT (U.S. Special Operations Central Command) has determined that he does not want the services of Major Cook, and has revoked his deployment orders,” the newspaper reports.
As it turns out, Cook had volunteered for active duty and thus has/had the right to rescind his request up until the day he ships out, the paper says.
Cook’s lawyer, in revising the original filing, now argues that the issue is not moot and adds that retired Maj. Gen. Carol Dean Childers and active U.S. Air Force reservist Lt. Col. David Earl Graeff have joined the suit “because it is a matter of unparalleled public interest and importance and because it is clearly a matter arising from issues of a recurring nature that will escape review unless the Court exercises its discretionary jurisdiction.”
The attorney also says Cook, after filing the suit, lost his job with a Department of Defense contractor an fears additional “retaliation.”
Stay tuned.
As for the core of the argument: Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. The newspaper also provides copies of federal court dismissals of two similar cases, one in 2008 and one in 2009,
