President Donald Trump might be the commander in chief, but two National Guard soldiers vowed to refuse to follow his orders if they conflict with the law and the Constitution.

Two Illinois National Guard members told CBS News that they want no part of deploying to Chicago to help deport immigrants.

The report called it "a rare act of open defiance from within the military ranks."

I just keep thinking of the similarities to 1933 thru 1945..................a lot of military personnel and others did not follow a psychopath and his minions...........I realize that a lot fled and a lot died.............

4. It would be a rare act of open defiance if they indeed do not deploy if given orders

It's nice to hear such sentiments voiced, but apparently ATM it's just theoretical. I also wonder whom they would deem the final arbiter regarding whether any deployment would "conflict with the law and the Constitution"?
