As I understand it, they were about to fire him, so staying and resisting may not have been an option. Perhaps he wanted to get ahead of the story and have his.moment to speak.
Also, I’ve never been in the military, but I imagine they have extremely strict policies against active duty members (particularly officers) criticizing the administration in public. This guy probably had to quit first if he wanted to say what he said publicly.
I hope it has an effect on current active-duty troops when they get their illegal orders.
It’s not something that can happen at the snap of a finger, and even after the fact would involve court cases that take resources away from the shitty things they’re trying to do…
We’re fucking fighting fascism man, we have to fight every battle even if we lose, because it at least eats up the clock.

There is literally zero gain from resigning.
