I don't know about that. Anyone who considers himself a patriot and is not a college student nor a millennial living in his mother's basement, is likely to throw it all in to save what we once had and in most zip codes still have - especially those who, like me are retired, collect guns, hunt, love our country, family and friends... would be more than happy to make the ultimate stand - going down in a blaze of glory, so to speak. And who knows, there may be enough of us to make a difference. And if we fail, we did the very best we could for the very best cause possible.

And as Ted said, most in the US Military would disobey such an order and before they could face a firing squad, would quickly turn their weapons on the despotic government that gave such an order.
