Well, there’s some shifting gears here. If the Major refuses orders from the CIC because he’s illegitimate is one thing. If it’s for something else please explain again.

Here's the link to the Columbus Ledger story filed just tonight...

Army's revokes deployment orders for soldier who said Obama isn't his president

Again, Maj. Cook was not a part of this special forces until from Southern Command that was deploying to Afghanistan. He was/is a non-ob reservist who volunteered for the Afghani deployment in May of this year. Less than a month later, those deployment order were issued at his request. Then, a few days or weeks later, Cook then filed his application for a TRO with the Federal District Court.

The Army, I'm assuming, didn't want the hassle of fighting a TRO requested by a man who volunteered in the first place. If there's any disciplinary action that the Army wants to pursue, they'll probably do so via an Article 15 hearing. If not, they'll likely just remove the Major from the Army via something called an Administrative Separation. It's not all that unusual, especially for reservist. I hope that helps to clarify.
