Seems like that's as good as it ever gets. Nothing materializes and good people get hurt for nothing.

I would expect our military to ignore a bad order, this would be one of them. I still smell a huge hoax.
The military falls under the ultimate command of the Commander in Chief.
Anyone in the military can refuse to follow any order.
However , they may be subject to military tribunal.
True, but if Trump were to give them an unconstitutional order they are oath-bound to ignore it. No?

Every single US military personnel swears an Oath of Enlistment to protect that Constitution .
If the Insurrection Clause is initiated that would mean the Constitution is in crisis .
They would not.
FYI : One does not "disobey" an order.
One refuses to accept the order and only under certain grounds.
