These are just my own thoughts, but I think there’s validity to what was mentioned on one of the threads late last night.
Orly is perhaps celebrating a win a bit too soon. To acknowledge that the deployment orders have been pulled — is this not the same question, just reversing of the official orders? In other words, regardless of whether the order is to deploy or not, the order comes down the same chain of command. The Major is more or less challenging the authority at the top of the chain; not the order itself.
Maybe I should have used “...is more or less challenging the authenticity of the authority at the top of the chain; not the order itself.”
