Service members are obligated to follow lawful orders from the chain of command, and lawfulness is defined by alignment with the Constitution and U.S. law...not by personal allegiance to whoever is in office.
Of course, Donald Trump would not know this; he was too afraid to serve.

Several have survived bombings and have been repatriated, rather than held as enemy combatants. Does this mean the admin lacks sufficient evidence to hold the people it is summarily executing?
