Soldier (birther) won't deploy to Afghanistan
From McClatchy

Soldier: Obama not U.S. born, can't send me to Afghanistan

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook is seeking a federal court order to stall and eventually prevent an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia — Cook's California-based attorney, Orly Taitz, asks the court to consider granting his client's request based upon Cook's belief that President Barrack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of U.S Armed Forces.

10. Are we sure he is from Georgia?
The lawyer is from California, and I don't seem to be able to find where he is from. Maybe he is just stationed here?

:shrug: Hope springs eternal... :D

21. Well it was filed in the district court in Macon
He may just be stationed here, but it gets to work its way through the system from here.

7. Poor thing is going to find out the freakin'
hard way that, yes, President Obama was indeed born in the good ol' USA.

President Obama:patriot:

Army Major Stefan Cook..not so much.

Could this be the straw that breaks the birthers backs?

11. The guy has to admit he's a candy-assed coward and get court-martialed like all cowards do
It's an excuse for what essentially is dereliction of duty.

12. Orly Taitz -- Big time California Birther...
MEET ORLY TAITZ, QUEEN BEE OF PEOPLE OBSESSED WITH BARACK OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE

http://www.ocweekly.com/2009-06-18/news/orly-taitz


With her strong will, busy travel schedule and breathless blogging, Laguna Niguel dentist Orly Taitz has become the most controversial figure in the effort to prove that President Barack Obama is foreign-born

Before she addressed the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States on March 13, Dr. Orly Taitz thought about his son and her sons and nearly started to cry.

18. Is there any way
to use this to push some sort of media regulation through? When people believe the constant propaganda perpetuated by questionable sources, and act on it thinking that it's legit...

This guy is an idiot.

When can we put a stop to the perpetuation of falsehood on the airwaves?

When can we go back to teaching critical thinking skills instead of drilling for the next multiple choice test?

maybe others will follow suit and we can weed the right-wing white supremacists from the military.

27. Keep them in the military and they are still Timonthy McVeighs
The only difference is that they have easier access to military weapons and a helpless population they can abuse with relative impunity. And their victims aren't white Americans, I guess ... not sure that's any better.

32. Mc Veigh, and other nutjobs can find explosives, machine guns, etc
wherever they are.

In the brig, they can't act, they can't even make lots of phone calls.

35. Did he accept a paycheck since Obama was inagurated?
If he was truly principled, he would have stopped accepting pay as of 20 January 2009.

20. Contrary to good order and discipline.
Homeboy needs to be allowed to resign his commission, since he won't be able to trust and support orders from on high.

Edited on Tue Jul-14-09 05:04 PM by Phx_Dem
He must too scared to return to battle. That's the feasible only reason a major would allow his men deploy without him. Chickenshit.

36. But since the order came from the Obama administration ...
... shouldn't he refuse a rescinding order or a pardon?
