    Unfortunately legality has no correlation with morality. What if the legal orders are to fire on US citizens? We’ve already seen what happens to legal and peaceful protestors when they’re confronted by police.

      Well, since it’s illegal for the army to be deployed on us soil for police work. Any subsequent order, like firing on US citizens would be illegal.

      It is their duty to refuse. “Just following orders” is not an excuse to commit crimes.
