" If the Army blinks, and revokes the orders,....."

But if they keep on revoking orders, the word is going to get out that if you don't want to be deployed, just file a BC demand. I don't see how they can keep revoking without serious consequences.

I don't either, which is precisely why I think that they won't blink.

Then maybe he should just prove his citizenship in a clear, indisputable way, even if he doesn’t have to. Isn’t that what a leader should do? What is most effective?

It's far more insidious than that.

If it is established that anyone can get out of a deployment merely by suing, then the assumption the the subsequent war crimes trials will be that anyone who went knew that the orders they were following were illegal.

The poor bastards won't even have the fig-leaf of "I was just following lawful orders".

Ah well, that didn't work in Nuremberg either. (Oddly they were following a foreign-born leader that time too)...

Revoking military orders should not be done lightly, and if to many military orders are revoked, it will be seen in the same light as Obama spending $ 2.5 million for his legal defense fund to keep all these cases from going to court.
What are they going to do if thousands of military personal file court cases against Obama ? ... they just can't keep revoking orders and it not look " FISHY " ....
