They executed a deliberate cross-branch information operation designed to insert legal-ethical friction into the chain of command.
That's what makes it prosecutable sedition, no?
If they had actually directed the military to defy orders it would be clear: mutiny or inciting mutiny, depending on the circumstances. But what they did is go up to that red line and, without jumping over it themselves, invited active military members to cross it. And that's sedition.
It's fair to say that inserting friction of any kind in the chain of command = obstruction of military operations. That obstruction or interference is what may pull them into enemy combatant territory. If they had been sincere and didn't want to obstruct operations, they had other avenues, like suing over whatever specific operation they perceive as illegal.
If this is not actually a WH awareness-raising op (and I don't think it is, but who knows), I'm sure a military court will convict them for exactly that. Info on the planning, organization and intent will determine the severity of punishment for each person involved, including the video's producers.
This case may pull back the curtain on the extent of hidden military involvement. Eventually the ops will be visible to all, and this might be a preview.
Mebbe Trump instigated it himself?
Good analysis and breakdown.

Inject hesitation?
If time were a letter.
What were your chast eyesed for?
