Imgur video features a veteran urging National Guard members to disobey unlawful orders, providing them with a confidential link if they have questions about unlawful orders they are given and told they will receive help determining the legality of those orders and instruction on how to refuse unlawful orders.
If nothing else, I believe this 'help' jeopardizes security as it routes orders given to NG through a confidential dissident organization hub in real-time. We've seen what lawfare can do - the leftists can track military commands/decisions while undermining NG with false claims of illegality which will be decided upon in court later. The start of the video is meant to shame the NG going to DC out of removing the homeless, which they are told 'are often military vets just like you'.

The enlisted service members are shielded from punishment over questionable orders by virtue of the nature of their Oath of Enlistment. The oath is taken at the beginning of each term of enlistment and only lasts for the term of enlistment.
The current Oath of Enlistment, as defined in 10 U.S. Code § 502, is:
"I, [state your full name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Officers take an Oath of Office only once at commissioning. The oath for officers does NOT have an expiration date.
"I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
National Guard members take a modified version, pledging allegiance to both the U.S. Constitution and their state Constitution.
Officers are expected to know which orders are legal and which are not.
The First Rule of Orders is: Don't give an order unless you know it will be obeyed. The corollary is: Never, EVER give an order you know will be disobeyed.
