That's how authoritarianism wins every time. Do you expect people to resist? Careers, retirements, bonuses, if not them it will be someone else, this is not illegal just immoral, oh now it's illegal but not that illegal, oh now it's illegal but my boss would yell at me if I don't do it, oh now I'm too deep, fast forward two years and you're torturing last members of opposition in your newly built concentration camp and wondering not how it went so deep so fast, but when is the lunch and will you be able to torture enough people to get a good evaluation this month.

Imagine being under 40 and thinking you'll be allowed to retire....

While you're right, it is also the national guard so it's a supplemental/part-time job and not the primary job for a lot of them.

So you expect them to trash their career?

Yes.

no, I guess it's too much to ask of the National Guard to guard the nation

land of the free, home of the brave lol...

Yet. Let's see what they do when their orders do violate the constitution.

A buck says 99.9% of them will still be okay with it.

Their orders have absolutely broken that vow.
