They just did. Nowhere in the article did they state that orders were not carried out. They did say that a number of the guys quit, because the orders seemed to be not entirely true or correct. Also, an important point is that it IS NOT war in the case of drone strikes most of the time. Admittedly, I am one of those people who can absolutely not understand why the actual people in the trenches during war do not just get out and agree with the other people they are supposed to be shooting, that those particular people don't have anything to do with the political reasons for the conflict, but don't let that distract you from the points I made above.
