Now this is a little different than Maj. Cook's case,
Maj. Cook was coming to a hearing about him disobeying orders because of obama's eligibilty and his orders were revoked rather than proving obama's eligibility in court.
Now why would they go ahead with a courtmartial for one soldier refusing to go to Afganistan, and not pursue Maj. Cooks case if obama is indeed eligible?
Both refused direct orders to deploy to Afganistan in roughly the same time frame.
The only difference was their reason for doing so:
One thought the war was illegal and was courtmartialed.
The other one thought obama was illegal and his orders to deploy were revoked rather than go to court where evidence must be presented.
http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=34979A Fort Hood soldier who believes the war in Afghanistan is "immoral and unjust" was sentenced to a month in jail and stripped of his Army rank Wednesday for refusing orders to deploy to Afghanistan.
Victor Agosto, 24, tore the specialist rank off his uniform after the sentence was read. He was later escorted out of the building to Bell County Jail as a group of supporters shouted they loved him and flashed peace signs.
Agosto, who served 13 months in Iraq with the 57th Expeditionary Signal Battalion, pleaded guilty to disobeying a lawful order during a summary court-martial at Fort Hood Wednesday. He was demoted to private – the lowest Army rank – and denied two-thirds of one month's pay.

The Army has revoked the deployment orders for a soldier who said he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because (he believes) Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.
