The Department of Defense has compelled a private employer to fire a U.S. Army Reserve major from his civilian job after he had his military deployment orders revoked for arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.
According to the CEO of Simtech Inc., a private company contracted by the Defense Security Services, an agency of the Department of Defense, the federal agency has compelled the termination of Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook.
Cook's attorney, Orly Taitz, wrote in her blog that Simtech CEO Larry Grice said he would try to find another position within the company for Cook, but nothing is currently available.
The Department of Defense does contracting in the general field of information technology/systems integration, at which Cook, a senior systems engineer and architect, was employed until taking a military leave of absence on July 10 in preparation for his deployment to Afghanistan.
"Grice told Plaintiff, in essence, that the situation had become 'nutty and crazy,' and that plaintiff would no longer be able to work at his old position," Taitz wrote.
Grice made clear that it was Defense Security Services that had compelled Simtech to fire Cook.
According to the report, Grice told Cook "there was some gossip that 'people were disappointed in' the plaintiff because they thought he was manipulating his deployment orders to create a platform for political purposes."
The Simtech CEO then discussed Cook's expectation of final paychecks, without any severance pay, and wished the soldier well.

They must fear the judgement of a man that would disobey an order to deploy, and that he is no longer trustworthy in the position he held.
What a load of crap!
The new Kremlin has spoken....
Was anyone expecting Obama not to seek revenge?
What a shame. The DoD should not be allowed to manipulate a private company, even one that contracts with the DoD in such a manner. If the Major meets all the requirements no one should be allowed to pressure his company to fire him for being part of this suit.
Prayers for the Major and his family.
Its the Chicago way! Keep it out of any courtroom where “discovery” might occur.
It is because the DOD has leverage over its contractors.
We all work for The Kenyan now.
Wow, if this is really the molehill people say it is....why is Obama making a mountain out of it.
It has nothing to do with fear of his judgment, and everything to do with revenge.
WOW! This is just flat out wrong! The arrogance of this Administration knows no bounds. How long before they fire someone else for daring to question ZERO? Produce the legitimate birth certification and college records to show he did not get student aid as a foreign student and all this will go away. For some reason they will not provide the info.
This one may have legs.
They just poured gasoline on a fire.
Unbelievable.
If Major cook has cats, like Katherine Willey did, he better keep an eye on them.
Hush-Hush mode by the White House via the DoD
Or both, or neither.
