The rest of the military forces could only do what's ordered (I guess that's how people like Captain Todaka still managed to live). Cagalli herself and the crew of Kusanagi wanted to fight, but Uzumi himself applied the "live today to fight tomorrow" rule on them. It's called strategic retreat imo. ORB would never be conquered entirely as long as Cagalli and the people aboard the Kusanagi live.

Please tell me you're joking. It doesn't matter what Uzumi or Cagalli or the Kusanagi does or wants to do.
If the ideal says that Orb would not let another nation invade it, and another nation invades it after a significant portion of Orb's military powers fled the nation on the order of the Representative of Orb, then that ideal no longer holds true.
And if you insists that Orb's ideal is the same as democracy in the USA, then this would be similar to the US President ordering a ban on democracy, which would be ridiculous.
The only logical interpretation of this event is that, while it is an ideal, it is not fundamental to Orb as a nation and can change.
