hold on a sec...what does ‘compelled the termination’ mean? was he drummed out of the service? retired on the spot? what would happen if a majority of soldiers filed a class action? would they be ‘terminated’ also?
Maybe less than it seems:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/15/soldier-claims-obama-isnt-legal-president-doesnt-deploy/
“”Cook is an “individual mobilization augmentee,” or a reserve soldier assigned to an active component unit for duty, the newspaper said. He submitted a formal written request to Human Resources Command-St. Louis on May 8 volunteering to serve one year in Afghanistan.
...
Incidentally, Cook did not have to hire a lawyer to refuse his orders to go to Afghanistan. As a reserve soldier and volunteer, he has the right to revoke his deployment orders.””
BUMP
Yes. People who thought it was a joke are now wondering whats going on.
Obamabots Talking Point: "He already released his birth certificate."
Major Media Lapdogs response: "Oh another birther kook. NEXT STORY!"
American Patriots response: "HEY OBAMA RELEASE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE YOU COWARD!!"
This could really grow legs if Sarah Palin would make it an issue;)
Can you imagine what kind of ruckus that would start in MSM. They would have no ‘fall back’ position. They have tried to kill Sarah’s political career...what can they do? Kill her again?
Perhaps someone in the Alaska National Guard could try this tactic????????
I predict that will eventually happen at some point in time.

We found two very interesting sites: http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/blog1/ and http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=104208
Apparently this Major was not a light weight within the Army since he was attached to SOCOM and worked with a major defense contractor: http://www.simtech-inc.com. IMO, this man has sacrificed everything to keep the oath that he swore to protect the Constitution. This is especially poignant given that most citizens that call themselves conservatives would not think of making any sacrifice for this country, and certainly no Liberal would.
I think we will all have an opportunity to look back on this time in the very near future and wish we had done things differently.
God Bless Major Cook! I wish we had a thousand men of intregrity like him.
I believe the judge in Georgia ended up throwing this case to Florida, where the serviceman resides.
Just to clarify — as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee, who are individual components of the inactive Individual Ready Reserve, Maj Cook was free to apply for a COTTAD (Contingency Tempororary Tour of Active Duty). The operative words is apply, i.e., volunteered. This is different than a Reserve Unit being called to active duty. If a Reserve Unit is called to active duty, all members of that unit are ordered to active duty.
Once the person applies for and obtains approval for such a request for COTTAD, orders are issued. In accordance with an All Army Activities (ALARACT) message 130152Z JAN 06 (13 Jan at 1:52 AM Zulu Time), paragraph 9G:
“A SOLDIER MAY WITHDRAW HIS/HER VOLUNTARY CONSENT TO SERVE ON A COTTAD TOUR BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN WITHDRAWL REQUEST TO HIS/HER UNIT COMMANDER AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO PUBLICATION OF THE SOLDIER S COTTAD ORDERS. PROVIDED THE COTTAD ORDERS HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED BY HRC (Human Resources Command), THE WITHDRAWL IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON THE COMMANDERS RECEIPT.”

This is in response to those who are under the impression that Reserve orders to active duty cannot be revoked. There are many different types of active duty periods, and this COTTAD is but one of them. It’s understandable that someone who is not familiar with the applicable regulations and policies could come to the conclusion that his orders could not be revoked so easily.
More questions, and this time some good questions.
While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question:
What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta , and Karachi ?
So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?
And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi, what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers.
It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list in 1981.
Conclusion:
When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.
If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter,the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008..
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America , as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.
Obama with no birth certificate and Pelosi verified the Democrat ticket.
