That's a not a hint though. You can't hint at yourself.

If you're talking about the Kusanagi, the main objective of the TSA is to prevent the tragedy caused by the extremists from EA and from ZAFT. So at times it fought the EA to protect ZAFT, and at other times it fought ZAFT to protect the EA.

It was fighting to end the war altogether so they could regain their country back.

The reason Uzumi sent the Archangel and Kusanagi away was that he realized that the current situation between Blue Cosmos and a Zala-led ZAFT was more important than Orb. In other words, he knew that it was not the time for neutrality, even if Orb were to be lost.

He also said that Orb was lost right before that. He didn't put the greater conflict ahead of Orb. He saw that Orb was lost anyway and sought to focus on the greater conflict that had affected Orb. And he didn't send them off in spite of neutrality. He sent them off to prevent further polarization so that neutrality would be possible again.

Again with the not making sense part? What part of not wanting to be invaded again does not make sense to you? They didn't join the EA just because they felt like it, you know.

Because it's out of character...

And that's why I said to look at the portrayal of the soldiers. Even if they didn't like it, they still obeyed the government.
In other words, whatever feelings that Orb people may have about the decision, it wasn't enough to stop the government from following through with it, especially when you consider the possible threat of another invasion.

The soldiers were
following orders because that's what
soldiers do. That's not going to extend to the people.
And even then they defected to Cagalli anyway.
