Honestly the major orders just tell me where to deploy, but I like reading the lore and updates about what's going on with the front lines.

I've been enjoying slaughtering bugs and the new defense rocket mission (definitely only of my favorite game modes! I love it)

Same! I'm not chasing the meta as much as some, but I chalk that up to the Personal Orders being entertaining in their own right; either I get to focus on a weapon/strat I already have access to (flamethrower, HE barrage, etc.) or an activity I've enjoyed the hell outta before (hunting hunters, etc.), or it's a decent enough reason to buy one I'm missing/try something new.

I have no problems with the General Orders being hit or miss as it feels more like there's an incalculably enormous war going on outside of my bubble, and most times I have the tiniest effect on its success — but, when I do? Oh hell yeah, I'm there!
