I think when faced with gunning down neighbors and friends they will refuse.
...at least most of them, and that's the real issue. Trump has used the phrase "illegal protests" and says soldiers are in major cities as a "training exercise".
The concern is what will happen if, given the order from Pete Hegseth to use live ammo on dissenters, what will happen? Even though Homeland Security agents are brutal against immigrants, I'm optimistic that shooting citizens will not happen. At least not twice.
