Under our constitution, the military has no authority to contravene the will of the civilian goverment. Nor does it have any authority to determine whether civilian goverment has done its duty. That is the job of the voters, and the voters alone. The military's duty is to carry out the will of the civilian goverment.
Military subserviance to civilian goverment is a key principal of republican goverment that prevents tyranny. The founding fathers understood this. I'm shocked that so many so-called "conservatives" on this site don't.
In accordance with the requirements of the Constitution. Carrying out orders in Conflict with it is illegal.

Don't appeal to the founding fathers, you who would violate their requirements which could prevented this mess! The founders would not have let it get this far, but thanks to people like you, what could have been a kerfuffle has already cost us 4 trillion dollars, countless unnecessary deaths, (Look up Fast and Furious) and a possible financial collapse and constitutional crisis.
