Looks like they are taking a stand by signing that pledge.

There is one section on resigning:

> If we discover misuse of data that we consider illegal or unethical in our organizations:

> ...

> If we do not have such authority, and our organizations force us to engage in such misuse, we will resign from our positions rather than comply.

From what I have seen, Google's help with the Pentagon seems limited to software consulting. If Google had shared any data with the Pentagon for military purposes then it would have crossed a line for the pledge.

The pledge says to try to fix it through: working with colleagues/leaders; then whistleblowing; then legal defenses if they have the authority; then resignation.
