This isn't what they actually said of course, but even if they had, it's entirely protected by the First Amendment to say you think the military should disobey the president, even if you concede the orders in question are lawful. Advocating that people should break the law is still protected speech.
President insists his word is the one and only law in this land.

Reminder: It’s really not normal for a senior DOJ official to publicly confirm that DOJ is getting ready to indict someone!
(Not to mention that Mizelle no longer works at DOJ — how exactly does he know “of what he speaks”?)

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").
