They were discharged because they chose to disobey a direct order in defiance of the UCMJ.

It's the opposite - the illegal diktat was given in violation of the UCMJ but none of those who gave it or enforced it have been charged.

I was in the military and saw unlawful orders called out and refused more often than civilians would believe. Some blew up in the face of the offender at the squadron level. Some went all the way up and ended O-6s careers.

Since you have been in the military, then you should understand the difference between the military and civilian worlds. And you would already know the answer to that statement. It is not the duty of the military member to determine the lawfullness of an order from a superior unless it was proven to be a danger to members or priority A equipment. At the time the orders were given, there was no proof other than the media of danger or putting priority A property out of commission. Hence, no unlawful order.

And if you want to go after someone, you would have to go after the POTUS or the Sec. Of Def. They made the order. The rest just lawfully followed it. So they couldn’t be under article 92 actions.
