I was on the phone last week with my son and we discussed this very topic. He is active Army, Infantry. 11 Bravo. He said they talked among themselves about this while in Iraq once in awhile. His said NO ONE he talked with, some Officers included, would obey any command to attack or harm U.S. citizens.

I was an Army Sgt, in (West) Germany during Vietnam. My platoon leader, a LT about my age asked me what I would do if he ordered me and my squad to take over an American radio station.

I said "sadly Sir, I would have to shoot you."

He said "I would expect that of you."
