At this point, I believe Congress is the only organization with the power and authority to address the issue, and they've already punted.
But what if there is a very legitimate reason? How is that ‘idiocy?’
You're saying that soldiers should refuse to fight the on-going war in Afghanistan (and anywhere else we may need to fight) merely because Obama is giving the orders. That's idiotic, as it equates our "national interest" with Obama's birth status.
I am certainly no fan of Obama, and have no illusions about his inadequacies as president. But he is the president, and our national interests -- including the military postiion in Afghanistan -- are independent of the name and pedigree of the person sitting in the Oval Office.
The good Major is using his military position in an attempt to make a political point. That is a horrendous misdeed, on many levels.
By the way It’s not like Obama is let them fight in Afghanistan either, Obama has place rules of engagement on all the troops over that that have made them all targets for the taliban, and I’m sure this Major knows the rules of engagement he would have to defend himself under.
Like hell they have. I was going to say they didn't punt, they fumbled. But in reality they didn't even show up on the field.

I’m saying some soldiers may choose to do this...and some of us may choose to break the law and quit paying taxes also...a chorus of thousands or millions until our institutions (as you say Congress and the SCOTUS absolutely) address this simple, basic, fundamental right to know about our leader’s status.
