Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president
Ledger Enquirer ^ | Tuesday, Jul. 14, 2009 | Lily Gordon

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go. His reason? Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States. Actually, Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state. Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client. In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.” Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9. According to this document, which accompanies Cook’s July 8 application for a temporary restraining order, he has been ordered to report to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday. From there, the Florida resident would go to Fort Benning before deploying overseas. A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests will take place in federal court here Thursday at 9:30 a.m.

This isn’t the right time or place for such a protest and reflects poorly on him and his unit.
When is the right time?

About 10 minutes before we’re all marched into the detainment camps?

For all we know, this one man’s “impertinence” could be the straw that breaks our camel king’s back.

The truth MUST out, ASAP or there will be nothing left of this country to save.

Don't be an Obama....show us *your* discharge papers and prove *you* ever served.

Show my papers? Sounds like something a Nazi would ask but coming from you I expect nothing less.

I served as a 2E271A in a forward deployed Air Control Squadron (GTACS) maintaining AN/TYQ-23 V3. What's your excuse for service or do you think that riding around on an oversized tricycle is commensurate to wearing the uniform?

And I’m supposed to take ~your~ word for that?

FYI, at the age of 21, I became a military -wife- to a Navy man who programmed the computers of those planes you sat and watched. [E3s, actually]

The second marriage is to an AF vet who served during the early Viet Nam era.

[and go look up Godwin’s Law because you just broke it and lost the argument, invertebrate]

I’ve already climbed mountains and had sex with men.

If he jumps out of a plane, your pathetic retort is wasted.

So changing vacuum tubes makes you an expert on how an officer should defend the constitution.

First, Obama has ordered our troops in Afghanistan to follow a new sort of Rules of engagement that effectively ties both hands behind their backs and makes all of them sitting targets, I’m sure this had nothing to do with the Major’s decision to protest his orders.

And I’m sure that career move like this that could easily have him executed if a court martial decided to really stick it to him was done purely for his own vanity, or was it?

I’ve always heard that to let’s say “encourage” young men with more brains than balls they purposely send them up in planes that are less than perfect so that they will want to jump out.
