Most of our generals probably get the distinction that they're to uphold the Constitution, defending against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Domestic includes a rouge President - like Trump.
The service members on the front lines are not really taught to think but to act upon orders. I hope when the time comes some of them will be able to rise up to the Oath.

I definitely didn't do that.

I swore an oath. I don't remember the red dawn fantasy portion. Shades of the repukes circa 2008.
Have fun storming the castle.

Instead, consider joining a major party and becoming part of the solution. That's constitutional, too.
