The pretty obvious flaw here is that the officer has to believe that the order is illegal. And a sizeable portion of our military is made of Trumpers/"conservatives".

And not every member has to agree, just some, and then at the very least we still have a huge damn problem on our hands.

Looking back at history, if you're in the position of, "I trust that the military won't assist in this coup", you're in deep, deep trouble because a whole lot of the time they DO.

I don't think the possibility is one that should be dismissed out of hand just because we think we're special. Everyone thinks they're special right up until they find out they're not.
