IMO, it is all going to be up to the Bde, Bn and Company Cdrs. Leaders higher than that are too deep in the politics, and although there will be some that would disobey, the majority will comply with instructions from higher. And as for leaders and soldiers lower than the Company Cdr level, there will be some that dissent, but the COs will be able to maintain discipline and compel the soldiers to follow in the largest majority of cases, whether they are ordering troops to (insert scary evil govt action here) or not.
I think any soldier in the military right now should make use of that Open Door Policy and have a little sit-down, heart-to-heart, with their Company Commander and ask him about his disposition on issues like this. The company commanders will be the biggest influencing factor on how things actually play out.
