Any soldier that refuses an order is subject to immediate arrest, imprisonment and dismissal from the service with no pension.

Am talking at the very top. They would drag their feet and come up with excuse after excuse. The would defy the order through other bureaucratic means.

No. A determined President, the Commander in Chief, can fire any General, relieve him of his command and lower his rank or reassign him to a post in Alaska. The President has to exercise his constitutional power if he is to be effective and successful politically.

Yes. And they wouldn’t have to delay very long. Because some federal judge would issue a stop order. Then things would get all gummed up.

But I would still like to see Trump order the Corps of Engineers to get involved. Just to make a point.
