And no, we didn’t win at all—this is a dead loss! Not yet it's not. Others have joined the suit as per post 28. Are they going to excuse them all from duty? We'll see.

Per the above, I suspect they would continue to let people off the deployment order rather than respond.

As I have also said several times, a military officer is the ideal plaintiff. Ideally, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--how can the Chiefs proceed without knowing who is the Commander?

What I would have done here is plead that he wasn't Commander in Chief and couldn't issue orders. This could have been the case to bring the issue to a head.

I don’t believe that all is lost. Not yet.

Thanks again, David.

My neighbor is a recently retired Lt. Col. He said rescinding the order was a preliminary step to court martial. He said they would want to hold the CM here, not in Afghanistan. Any military out there with their thoughts on this?
