“Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin removing the spouses and children of military personnel from South Korea, where the U.S. military has a base.”

Has “a” base???? The U.S. has a number of bases in South Korea!!! Not “a” base. Are they really that stupid at the Hill??

"The president thinks out loud. Do you treat it like an order? Or do you treat it as part of a longer conversation? We treated it as part of a longer conversation," a former senior national security official told The New Yorker.

That is actually a reasonable position. If at any time Trump says,"Say aye,aye, Mr. President and execute it," it is unmistakably an order and any effective executive knows how to do that.

I didn’t go read the article but from the excerpt I note they aren’t quoting Mattis they are quoting an anonymous former senior national security official. I take anonymous sources with a grain of salt.
