I can’t seem to find a time they didn’t accept such orders. World wide, all armies, rare is it to find a story where the military refused orders.

Yes, I don't think I suddenly came up with some sort of brilliance. Remember, the Germans said they were just following orders. I think the majority of American soldiers, if ordered to do so, will surely fire on American civilians.

That is not entirely one-sided. While soldiers rarely refuse orders, a part of that is senior officers being afraid to try issuing orders that might not be obeyed. Part of the reason that soldiers obey is that thugs in power, even Obama, are afraid to issue the most evil orders they can imagine, no matter how much they may relish the thought of doing so.
