“Also, I am not sure if the Commander in Chief could ever be disobeyed. I suppose not.”
If given an illegal order, then of course, they are required to refuse such an order.
“Because if the top order to stand down came from ANYONE other than the CinC, how could it be obeyed in this situation with what was clearly known (from the drones etc)?”
The guys on the line have no such discretion and insight as to where the stand down order came from.
Military mutiny is what we are talking about and that is a dangerous idea. . .

Thanks. I appreciate your answering my kind of dumb questions. I really would want to learn the truth about who did give that stand down order. And would it have been illegal? Or just a “bad call” if given by a real commander.

“If there was more to this story don’t you think the media would report it? They make money from stories like this. “
Then, quietly, point them to the Iran Deal ‘surprise’.
