While Trump may believe it’s ‘seditious’ for members of Congress to remind the US military that some orders might be illegal and shouldn’t be followed blindly, a survey of troops earlier this year found that most understand what the law requires https://theconversation.com/just-follow-orders-or-obey-the-law-what-us-troops-told-us-about-refusing-illegal-commands-270401

@TheConversationUS Saw a video some time ago and the gist I got from it was that US troops are screwed. The examples are almost always obvious (genocide, shooting civilians), but what about being sent to normal cities. These orders are clearly illegal, but the current SCOTUS is horny for a king that's above the law, so it will be declared legal, unless the majority of judges change before the get the case.
