Seems like the military has already followed illegal orders (e.g. bombing the Venezuelan boats) . Don't think they're really interested in following the law.
While there are certainly some scum in military to follow the oligarchies wishes- I would like to think there's at least a handful of good souls that will make the right call when the time comes. We'll see, the general populace should have already revolted but as long as we can watch our insta chat reels we'll never rise up so maybe not
Most, if not all of the good ones either resigned themselves or were ousted.
The time already came and no one made the right call. Youbare delusional.
The US military is huge. We've seen soldiers disobeying unlawful orders recently with Trump's new attacks on Iran. It's delusional to act like there's no nuance in this.
