Is the "birther" fight legitimate? Absolutely, but there are right and wrong ways to do this. This was the wrong way.

Please tell me, what is the right way?

These soldiers have taken a serious oath to defend the Constitution. The American people let them down. Congress let them down. The Electoral College let them down. Now they're trying to do the right thing and help *us* straighten out this mess. They're doing it peacefully and legally, not organizing a coup.

We trust that they have our backs. We should have theirs', especially when they're trying to do the right thing.

I don't know. I'm rethinking this, not because of what you have written (no disrespect of you, or your views), but because I think it is important to consider both sides of a situation, and this one is close.

This is a huge issue and must be vetted. I'm less concerned with the necessity of the Army having to redo paperwork; that is barley worth mentioning. The officer Cook is replacing is another matter, but I am at a loss for how this gets done with out causing someone to be stuck.

Had this been someone other than a reservist that volunteered to go the outcome is the same. The legal standing and reasoning is the same. The currently assigned officer waits as it gets fixed just the same. The only difference I can see is that the Sickle and Hammer cannot claim that the officer bringing the suit volunteered only to have standing.

If anything, Cook may have cleared the way for regular officers to bring suit without as much risk to their careers.

OK - never mind. I'm wrong.
