Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

And yet every single one of them will. If they don’t, they will lose all that stuff they went in for. They will go to jail. They will be dishonorably discharged.

None of those people will ever risk that.

If they do, and the Fascists lose, they lose all of it too. It's an illegal order to perform an illegal action, so they're legally obligated not to obey. Yes, they'll be arrested (if they as a group don't "override" their CO and bounce after). They'll then be tried and possibly dishonorably discharged. If the Fascists lose though, they'll quite possibly be executed, or at least held for life, if they follow the order. It's a gamble either way, and hopefully they side with their conscience.

It’s pretty unlikely. Because, it would take a significant number of them to go against their Superiors. Even if they get 50%, there’s still another 50% who are going to fight against them. The best case scenario is it’s all out war within the military. Of course, the poor citizens around them will be taking bullets.
