They know full well they're going to Minnesota to kill a bunch of people for...blowing whistles.
Right move in that situation is ro refuse.
You're ignoring the nuance, which is a weapon of Maga, so be better. The orders don't say kill them. It says "go and maintain order". Politics aside, they think they are the good guys. Many of them don't have a clue that they're being used as puppets to escalate the fascist takeover.
Sure, there is what is explicit, but they have access to the same news I do, and know what this is about. The US military isn't operating in an information vacuum like the Soviet army in Budapest during the cold war who thought they were there to fight Americans
They can't ignore orders that aren't illegal. They have to walk right up to the line and THEN refuse to cross it when shit goes sideways. But by then the tension will be high enough for an incident... That's all Maga cares about. They don't need to send kill orders to get what they want.
Levying war against the United States doesnt only consist of instruction to massacre; it includes the whole military operation by active-duty troops. Don't.
Every us military base has fox news on with the volume up in every common area.
That's the default information source for people in uniform.
I don't think they do know that. How many brainwashed people have you met yourself? Have you listened to any Fox News coverage - what would someone who trusts that outlet believe?
I have met a lot of both active duty and retired service members. Not a single one of them would follow such an order.
Have you ever met a United States service member?
You didn't reply properly.
An order to "kill anyone blowing a whistle" or an order to "kill any domestic terrorists who approach suspiciously"?
And sure, but I don't think our collective anecdotes are useful here.
