"Third, I cannot support him disobeying orders."

Servicemembers are obligated to disobey unlawful orders. The only point at issue is the legitimacy of the order.

Obama didn't issue the order to this officer, it came from his superior officer in his chain of command. What makes that person's order unlawful?

Which brings us to the crux of this whole debate. The question of the orders lawfulness rests in Obama's legitimacy to hold the office. At this time Obama is the legitimate President. Should someone present evidence to the contrary then Maj Cook would be right in his actions.
