So what everyone is saying is that whomever is in command and all military personnel in the chain of command are going to follow any orders no matter how illegal? Seriously? The military has already told Trump to pound sand.

Orders will be couched, as much as possible, in legal orders to "keep the peace". IANAL, no idea what that looks like. But you're right, the brass is not going for any of this shit.

It would take 15 years to effect real change in the military hierarchy in America and that’s intentional.
