Why is he finished in civilian life? Because he got fired? I doubt it.

It’s doubtful that anything will happen — that foursome does like their three square meals a day.

I stopped listening to them last year simply because I do not want to be reminded on a daily basis that my country is going to hell in a handbasket. They talk, but offer no solutions.

I would think he can file a wrongful termination, and try to force Obama to present his bona fides during discovery.

Major Cook is a very brave man. No matter what happens to him, he’s going to be fine.

Looks like Obama might be painted into a corner

Major Cook has painted himself in a corner. Obama is firmly in the White House with the media and lefty loons doing a fine job of guarding the gates.

It seems like Orly has been busy.. from her post at Dr. Orly Taitz EsquireDr

APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

Plaintiff Major Stefan Frederick Cook previously received from the Defendants in this cause what appear to be facially valid orders from Colonel Wanda L. Good mobilizing him to active duty with the United States Army in Afghanistan on July 15-18, 2009 (Exhibit A). Plaintiff filed his Original Application for TRO on Friday July 10, 2009, and on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 his deployment to Afghanistan was revoked by order of Colonel Louis B. Wingate, apparently Col. Good’s successor at Army Human Resources Command in St. Louis (Exhibit B). This unexpected action does not in any way, shape or form, “moot” the application for TRO, which is here amended and resubmitted as an Application for Preliminary Injunction, covering both the possibility of future orders and to prevent negative collateral consequences such as retaliation against Major Stefan Frederick Cook (which have already begun) including possible violations of the general Federal and specific military whistleblower acts, as well as the First and Ninth Amendment civil rights of Major Stefan Frederick Cook to challenge the chain of command in the U.S military. It is obvious that this case has the potential to be converted into a class action on behalf of all military servicemen and women who require the means of establishing the legality of their orders with certainty. This Court has the authority to hear cases which might otherwise be moot so long as they present: 1) an unsettled legal issues of public interest and importance and 2) an issue of a recurring nature that will escape review unless the Court exercises its discretionary jurisdiction. Major General Carol Dean Childers retired but subject to lifetime recall, and Lt. Col David Earl Graeff – Medical Surgeon in US Airforce Active Reserves, subject to recall any day, join in this Application for Preliminary Injunction because it is a matter of unparalleled public interest and importance and because it is clearly a matter arising from issues of a recurring nature that will escape review unless the Court exercises its discretionary jurisdiction.

Ba Bam!

“They do in some industry sectors.”

Then they hide it very well. Unless you’re talking about the “revolving door” hires of officers not because they are vets, but because it is hoped they will have influence when a contract is let.

What would you call Rush's Op-Ed in the WSJ earlier this year proposing a true alternative to the bailout?

They hire officers because officers have technical skills and managerial backgrounds. There are laws and regulations preventing such hiring from being used for influence. And they work except in rare circumstances. An officer with an engineering degree is in high demand in the defense sector for reasons that have nothing to do with contracting bias.

You mean Chicago-Thuggery controls the DoD?

What is happening to the USofA???

Dr Taitz has another reason for a lawsuit. This is crazy. This is the USofA, these things happen in Russia and China but NOT here!

We need to financially help Dr. Taitz. Who’s got the info for that? Post please.

This is good. The longer this case is alive the more the MSM will be compelled to look into it.

You'd have to fake the aging of the inks and the papers down to the isotopic and molecular level...IF you had someone interested in a bulletproof comparison...not such an easy task.

But that would presume it would be tested to that level. As long as the opposition is allowed to press there is hope. But we have seen what he did to the officer who initiated the case - the orders were rescinded to remove legal standing, then he was fired. We can only hope that now hundreds of military will initiate suits and overwhelm these nazi tactics.

All of those ignorant a-holes driving around in cars plastered with stickers that say: "IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!" are finally right.

Thanks. Since he was a reservist, isn't that grounds for them to keep his job while he serves his duty?

Security Risk? By working at that company?

Thanks for your help in this.

“Since he was a reservist, isn’t that grounds for them to keep his job while he serves his duty?”

If he had served, but as I understand it he refused his orders.

“Security Risk? By working at that company?”

Saying that the Bamtard is not prez because he hasn’t demonstrated that he’s a natural born citizen can be interpreted—by the malicious—as evidence of mental instability.

“They hire officers because officers have technical skills”

Let’s just adjust that a little: They hire ex-servicemen who have technical skills they can use, but I see no indication that they get preference over other applicants.

And ex-servicemen who don’t have those technical skills, whose careers were in other areas, would do better to hide their military service from the twenty-something twinkies that populate human resources departments.

This is just to confusing for me, lol. Thanks for you help.

Pray those in charge of all this know what they are doing and how it will play into O's court battle on his BC. Got to give that major credit for trying.
