Retired general, lieutenant colonel join reservist’s lawsuit over Obama's birth status

A controversial suit brought by a U.S. Army reservist has been joined by a retired Army two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant colonel.

Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed the suit July 8 in federal court here asking for conscientious objector status and a preliminary injunction based upon his belief that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

But before the issue got to court, Cook’s orders to deploy to Afghanistan were revoked. Lt. Col. Maria Quon, U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Army Human Resources Command-St. Louis, said Tuesday that Cook was no longer expected to report Wednesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida for mobilization to active duty. Cook, who claims he is now the victim of retaliation due to his suit, received his mobilization orders to report for active duty at MacDill on July 15. From there he was to go to Fort Benning, on July 18, for deployment to Afghanistan.

It ain't gonna go away.

some more....

This issue goes beyond eligibility.

Our very survival is at stake.

Hypocrits: how many really believe the DOD did this. Try the WH. But if the military is ready tofire anyone in a private company that happens to disagree with our current situation, take your stickers off your cars, Don’t discuss anything with your co-workers.....BECAUSE BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING. This is a big deal. The arrogance, even Hillary knows better than this.

A modern day repeat of Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia and Mao’s China. The forced labor camps are not too far off unless this Kenyan usurper and ALL his cronies are dealt with.

Here we go again.

It really does. By trying to moot the Cooper case, the Usurper has given every service person who wants to evade a deployment a "get out of deployment free" card, all to keep the Usurper from having to reveal his "Certificate of Live Birth." When it comes to covering his rancid political ass, America's security and his own sworn obligations as CIC matter not a whit to this evil anti-American communist and secret Mudslime.

Thanks, Rushmore Rocks.

[cripplecreek]

The fact that Obozo will simply stand there and allow military people destry their careers when he has very easy means to stop it, doesn’t say much for him as a leader does it?

[libstripper]

I’s astounding. He’s deliberately destroying his ability to function in his most important responsibility, CIC, just to protect himself politically.

I used to have a boss who had retired from the military as a drill Sergeant. When I took the job of foreman and complained about the late nights and whining of subordinates he explained that leadership requires the greatest sacrifice of all.

He said you really can’t expect men to follow if you aren’t willing to lead.

Now they've kicked it up a notch rank and standing wise with an Active Reserve Lieutenant Colonel.

Hopefully, this will be the start of a larger movement.

[Don Corleone]

Real leadership is telling the fattest guy in the raft that he has to get out and having him do it willingly. IMHO

[ExTexasRedhead]

Hussein and many of the US Congress make Hitler and his Gestapo proud.

[freekitty]

I agree. We have a bunch of idiots whose sole agenda is to destroy America. Obama must step down or be impeached.

[brushcop]

Hey Red, I agree that it certainly is beyond eligibility but that’s a start. Then if we prove that he is INeligible under the Constitution, something must HAPPEN, it can’t be ignored. Well, not in the real world or rather, a more just world that is. I think we are in a parallel universe.

[ExTexasRedhead]

The plot to destroy America must be exposed. Yes, I did say plot with accomplices in the US Congress.

[taxtruth]

I agree.

The forced labor camps are not too far off unless this Kenyan usurper and ALL his cronies are dealt with.

Except the only ones going will be the hard-working ones of us who are fed up and ready to move off the grid. The lazy, winos and bums, illegal aliens, leftists, "artists," most "educators," and the rest of the usual suspects will continue to have their hands-out while we slave.

“I’s astounding. He’s deliberately destroying his ability to function in his most important responsibility, CIC, just to protect himself politically.”

You really think he cares? Or ever did care about being CIC?

[Balata]

BUMPING IT UP A NOTCH.

[Faith]

Hypocrits: how many really believe the DOD did this.

I'm not buying it. Sounds like an admission of ineligibility to me on the part of the current White House occupant.

[thecodont]

I’s astounding. He’s deliberately destroying his ability to function in his most important responsibility, CIC, just to protect himself politically.

I read somewhere that he referred to that title as "Commander and Chief" instead of the correct "Commander in Chief." He can't even get the title right.

[Harley]

Hypocrits: how many really believe the DOD did this.

I'm kind of with you, but I wouldn't be surprised that the Special Ops 2-star may have acted preemptively to promote his career and keep himself on track for further promotion to 3 star general. What do you think? Possible?

[El Gato]

I think we are in a parallel universe.

It's known as the Bizzaro World.

[brushcop]

HAHAHA! You got that right! Thanks.

A clearer statement of facts would be hard to formulate.

More to it that that.

Treason still carries the death penalty.

Sure. Pick on the fat guy.

Yup. Looks like the Usurper's accomplices moved fast.

The Cook case was discussed in a segment by Jeff Kants on the VERY popular Howie Carr Show on wrko.com talk radio show 3-6PM EST-
this is available for the following day here. I am unfamiliar as to how long these segments are available - but it is for at least the following day here

This link worked for me.

[TruthWillWin]

Thanks, that link works. Original one still does not.

Interesting that the article does not mention the names of the two that joined the suit?

[TruthWillWin]

I stand corrected. The original link now does work. Loaded as I was posting previous post.

Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed the suit July 8 in federal court here asking for conscientious objector status ........

---

Wait a minute, this is the first one I've caught using the terminology of conscientious objector. Is that true or is this another “loaded” article from the media?

DoD 1300.6 defines a conscientious objector as a person who has “a firm, fixed and sincere objection to participation in war in any form or the bearing of arms, by reason of religious training and belief.” People who object to war “solely upon considerations of policy, pragmatism, expediency, or political views” do not qualify for discharge or transfer under DoD 1300.6.

[Genoa]

I think it’s the same two who are plaintiffs on the Orly Taitz Application for Injunction that we’ve seen already: Childers and Graeff. I don’t think this is new.

[libstripper]

Major Cook did claim CO status; I've read the complaint. His reason was, given the huge cloud that hangs over the legality of Obama's "presidency," he could easily find himself participating in an illegal private army that reported solely to Obama. That being so, he argued, he would not be subject to the Geneva Convention's protection for lawful combatants.

Your quotation of the statutory definition of CO raises even more questions regarding the Administration's motive for revoking the Major's deployment orders. From that quote, claiming CO status would be a bit of a stretch for him. If the Administration didn't deeply fear the discovery he was going to undertake and the likely revelation of Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth," why didn't it just participate in discovery, reveal the certificate, and then move for summary judgment on the basis that his claim of CO status wasn't covered by the statute? Such an approach would apparently be superior to the mooting approach they took by revoking the deployment order because that approach gives thousands of other military personnel "get out of deployment free" cards by just filing suits similar to the Cook suit and waiting for their orders to be revoked.

[PeterPrinciple]

Yes, it does get interesting. The rational of CO appears to be weak but there would have to be an official hearing and discovery to discharge the weak charge. It is a cornered rat who rescinds the deployment order to get out of a jam now but leave themselves open. They thought taking his job away from him would work to silence him but they never do understand patriots nor the blood of patriots.

[PeterPrinciple]

Just reread my source. I think the info is still valid although the author probably had a different intention in writing it:
