If I were still on active duty, these would be my answers:
1. No, I would refuse to obey the order.
2. Using the chain of command of the last unit in which I served, no, I believe they would refuse to obey the order as well.
3. Again, using my last unit, I would be confident that 100% would refuse the order.
4. I am confident enough in our military personnel to say that at least 99% would refuse to obey.

As a veteran, I completely and totally agree with your post on this matter.
The only people I’ve ever run across that think otherwise never served as you and I did. Which isn’t surprising when you realize less than 5% of the living population of our nation has ever served in the military.

All the more reason to create divisions of foreigners. They wont hesitate to shoot Americans and dump them in mass graves.

I always respond to my pings, and it was my honor, no thanks necessary. I’ll just note I didn’t understand it was an ‘honor’ when I was 18.
I do now, at age 50. Actually for the past decade or so...but you undertand what I’m trying to say here.

If such a situation were to happen, it wouldn’t be in isolation. There would have to be something that the government could reasonably paint as a crisis. Like the “LA Riots” or the “Branch Davidian” standoff, only bigger. Then I could see... maybe... the military following that kind of an order.

Did armed active duty troops respond to Hurricane Katrina and before that, to Koresh compound at Waco as commanded by General Janet Reno?

Obama will bring in more Somalis and Muslims to shoot you if other Americans in uniform refuse.

That's good. For the ones who would, remember there are at least 15 million scoped hunting rifles in the US. (just hunting rifles)

From my military experience, I’d say about 90% would refuse, 4% are too dumb to understand why it’s unlawful, and 6% are either commies who would love to do it or would be too scared to put on the uniform.

All the more reason to create divisions of foreigners. They wont hesitate to shoot Americans and dump them in mass graves. And veterans won't hestitate to shoot back and leave them for graves registration or the medics.
It takes one soldier to care for a dead man, three to care for each wounded one.

I’ve never served but I have faith in our soldiers to do the right thing and oppose.

Same here. I can honestly say that none of the units with whom I served in the Army would have followed an order to use force to disarm citizens and shuttle them to internment camps. The chain of command would have refused such orders.
