There was a story this week about a soldier who said he shouldn’t have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama is not qualified to be President and, therefore, Commander in Chief. Almost immediately, the Army revoked the soldiers’ orders. Of course, we only heard brief snippets of the story on the MSM. What happens now? Can any soldier, who objects on the same grounds, get his orders revoked too?
The soldier Major Cook had his orders rescinded (as apparently can happen if requested) but was fired (under DOD pressure) from his civilian conract positon in Afghanistan.
Technically, since there was no defence offered in court, any soldier can claim the same thing. If they are ready to be court-martialled and drummed out of the service and lose any pension etc.
We have to see what happens.
The Marines are upset that in Afghanistan they have been ordered NOT TO SHOOT back if the Taleban shoot at them to avoid hitting any civilians !!!!!!!!!!! The order making them sitting ducks comes from Obama.
This may in part be the reason Judge Carter, a combat Marine himself has agreed to take a judicial look at Obama’s qualifications to be president.

It seems a precedent was indeed set this week.
