Nonetheless, he is one who would resist such orders and left so he wouldn’t have to. That leaves potentially others in charge who will simply bend a knee for the paycheck, ego or ideology.
I think the point is more that while you’re in the military, you’re likely restricted in what you can say publicly, even if it’s possible to resist illegal orders within the structure. The guys resigned and no longer beholden to that restriction, so he’s publicly urging others to take similar actions in resisting illegal orders.
Could be wrong, as I’m not that familiar with military requirements, but that’d be my guess.
He resigned and then he wants others to resist?
When you are in the military, you are under an unbreakable contract.
While getting out is preferable, for those who can not, it’s better that they resist the illegal orders.

True, it seems that’s the route the US army is going.
Everyone in the military swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic.
…giving his two weeks notice to our chief domestic threat doesn’t quite live up to that responsibility.
Our military is absolutely stuffed with cowards and traitors.
Your military exists to bomb foreign kids and prop up US interests, not to stop fascism.
Like I said - cowards and traitors.
