My fear is that it would make it easier, by singling out who needs to be purged.

If they stay compliment with Trump, they won't need to be purged anyways as they are complient at that point.

If they pick the right moment to resist, they can at least tie up lawyers and/or millitarty personnel up with court marshalls, spending money, resources, and manpower to keep them in military prison, ect.

And besides that, its literally in their oath to disobey unlawful orders, so if something is blatently unconstitutional and immoral I would expect every good soldier to follow their oath rather than their orders.

I don't disagree with any of this, but it's kind of precisely why coming out and saying what teawrecks wants them to say before that right moment is foolhardy at best imo.

In other words, your saying that they should keep a low profile until the moment they need to disobey? Makes sense.

Yeah, exactly this.
