        You touch an important subject: will the military go along with each and every - often unconstitutional - demand he puts on them?

          Any unconstitutional order should be disobeyed. Any illegal order should be disobeyed. It’s pretty simple, really: are you being told to fire on Americans? Yeah, don’t.

            Soldiers are deliberately put in positions where they aren’t capable of determining the constitutionality and legality of orders at their level… and they have no protections if they disobey orders without, eventually determined in a military court, cause. I wonder how those tend to go.
