Re Maj. Cook: Cowardice is the least of it

[Adelante]

I enjoyed KO's Worst Persons of the Year last night, but I think it would have been good if the sequence of events were made clearer. This was a planned maneuver since February, months before Cook ever volunteered to go to Afghanistan as a reservist and, in my opinion, cowardice isn't the main point.

On February 4, 2009 Patrick McKinnion at Yes To Democracy posted a fun and detailed listing of the latest Birther antics as of that date.

Keep in mind this date: February 1, 2009.

Dear Attorney Orly,

My name is Major Stefan F. Cook. I am an officer in the Army Reserve of the United States of America and understand that you are heading up a class action suite to request that Barack Obama show he meets the Constitutional qualifications to be our Commander In Chief. As an officer in the U.S. Army, I have the right to know that I am following the lawful orders from a Constitutionally qualified Commander In Chief.

I would like to sign on as a participating plaintiff in this class action.

Please advise.

V/R

STEFAN F. COOK
MAJ, EN, US ARMY

Major Cook went on to send Dr. Taitz a signed, notarized consent form authorizing her to name him as a plaintiff in this suit.

Major Cook went on in May to volunteer to be deployed to Afghanistan. The Army welcomed Major Cook on June 9, 2009, to deploy to Afghanistan, at his request.

Ledger-Enquirer:

On May 8, Cook submitted a formal written request to Human Resources Command-St. Louis volunteering to serve one year in Afghanistan with Special Operations Command, U.S. Army Central Command, beginning July 15, Quon said.

The soldier’s orders were issued on June 9.

“A reserve soldier who volunteers for an active duty tour may ask for a revocation of orders up until the day he is scheduled to report for active duty,” Quon said.

She added that there is an administrative process to request revocation of orders. As of Tuesday afternoon, Cook had not asked for his orders to be revoked, Quon said. By 5 p.m. EDT, the orders had been pulled.

Quon said she could not discuss why the Army revoked the soldier’s orders.

“Because of the Privacy Act, I couldn’t go into it,” Quon said.

A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests is scheduled to take place Thursday in Columbus federal court at 9:30 a.m.

To recap:

February 1, 2009 - Cook volunteers to join Birther case with Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.

May 8, 2009 - Cook volunteers to serve for one year in Afghanistan, beginning July 15, 2009.

July 8, 2009 - A Temporary Restraining Order request is filed by Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., on behalf of Major Charles Frederick Cook, at U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, where Cook is due to report on July 15, 2009 for voluntary deployment to Afghanistan.


The hearing is tomorrow morning, July 16, 2009. How Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. is going to succeed in finding protection for Major Cook from a deployment he asked for, and which no longer exists, thanks to the US Army, will be tomorrow’s act in the ongoing comedy.

GO ARMY!!

You might think Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. would regret fucking with the United States Army, but no.

What does it mean? It’s proof that we have a totally illegitimate commander in chief and they will cave in each and every situation. It means that from now on any member of the military, who doesn’t like any order , needs to call Dr. Taitz, ESQ and state that he doesn’t want to follow the order, a legal action will be initiated based on Obama’s illegitimacy in office and the military will cave in. It means that for the sake of covering up for Obama and fraud perpetrated, top brass of the US military is willing to undermine integrity of the military.

Just a reminder, Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.:

18 USC § 2387. Activities affecting armed forces generally

(a) Whoever, with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces of the United States:
(1) advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States; or (2) distributes or attempts to distribute any written or printed matter which advises, counsels, or urges insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

The Army gave every opportunity for Major Cook to release himself from the onerous task he chose for himself of joining his military brethren in fighting for his country, and then on the last day possible, July 14, 2009, did it for him. Nothing much is likely to happen to Major Cook, as I understand it, because he volunteered as opposed to being called up as a reservist; except as a reservist he’s toast. But Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. may have her ass in a sling. Let’s hope so. But to belabor a point, Major Cook voluntarily joined a lawsuit in February and then, in May, deliberately and falsely volunteered for duty in time of war, for the sole purpose of filing a lawsuit against his CinC.

To me, that's the larger point.
