This news — you know, the stuff that shows National Guard troops aren’t exactly happy to be expendable pieces in Trump revenge schemes — is unsurprising. No one signed up for this…
Unfortunately vast swaths of the justice system are in the Heritage Foundations pocket and can and will make those soldier’s lives an absolute living hell while they’re trying to fight and prove it was an illegal order.
Remember, the system was built to defer to power (like how the words of police are always considered trusted and of the highest quality by courts) and to only allow those with infinite amounts of money to be able to appeal obviously bad decisions. While waiting on justice, they may spend years inside a cell for refusing to follow a legal order.
Unless it happens en masse with the majority of the Guard doing it all at the same time, the first individuals who choose to say no will suffer greatly.
