Before heading into Court, where they are likely to have their asses handed to them, Orly Taitz and Birther Soldier Major Stefan Cook held a press conference on the Courthouse steps:
The soldier who is questioning the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency in federal court arrived in uniform this morning for his hearing.
Outside the courthouse, U.S. Army Reserve Maj. Joseph Stefan Cook defended his controversial position and declared his devotion to the military.
“I love the Army and I want to continue to serve in the Army,” Cook said. “If we can establish that he is in fact president of the United States legally, I’m on the airplane the next day over to Afghanistan… if they cut my deployment orders, so I can do the job that I want to do.”
Cook said following orders made by an illegitimate superior could ultimately lead to his prosecution, or worse.
“If one cannot establish the validity and legality of the order … we would be following illegal orders and subject to prosecution,” he said. “I could be prosecuted by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and if captured I would not be privy to protections under the Geneva Convention.”
Other soldiers have been supportive of his position, Cook said.
“I’ve received quite a bit of popular support from officers in my grade and some officers a grade above and some officers a grade below,” he said. “Thus far, I’d say about 90 percent positive.”
Yea, sure, that’s why the Southern Command told your employer they no longer required your services as a Government Contractor, because they support you.
You can’t make up self-deluded nonsense like this.

The man is a coward and a disgrace to the military. He obviously wanted to play soldier on the weekend, but when push came to shove -he whimped out.
He should be dishonorably discharged as he would only bring down moral in his unit and place them at more danger when he runs like a baby from his first firefight.
