I’m correct. Here’s the story:

Major Cook took part in a dismissed class action lawsuit in March challenging President Obama?s legitimacy to be CinC that was presented by Orly Taitz and supported her actions via postings on the Free Republic web site. At this time he was a member of the Individual Ready Reserves (IRR) for the US Army.

On May 8th, Major Cook requested that he be activated to serve a one year tour in Afghanistan, starting July 15, 2009

In June, the Army accepts his offer of voluntary service and sets his deployment date for July 15

When it came time to deploy, Major Cook stated that he is refusing to deploy due to his belief that the president is not a legitimate CinC

The deployment order was revoked, since the tour was a voluntary request in the first place, and as a reserve officer he could have asked not to go up until the day of the deployment. Additionally, the military did not want him deployed. In the words of CENTCOM spokesman Lt Cdr William Speaks ?After he brought this stuff to the fore, the unit that owned his billet canceled his orders.?

Major Cook has volunteered his services many times over the years so your comment was an assumption and not necessarily a fact

[roaddog727]

you are not correct in the intent.

The intent was always to deploy. SOCCENT revoked the orders. Typically, a reservist who volunteers for deployment can request for the orders to be revoked/rescinded up to the day before deployment. There was never a requested for the Orders be revoked. What was done was to seek clarification as to the legitimacy of the Chain of command and hence the orders and have a Temporary restraining order granted until such time as legitamacy of the Chain of command was established.
