I have wondered what our military commanders (and troops) would do if he ordered them to use force to keep them from seceding. I can’t imagine federal troops firing on their national guard brothers because Obama said so.

It’s not the 1860’s any more.

The closest example would be the federal government nationalizing the state national guards to enfore desegregation orders in the 1950s and 60s. The state guardsmen followed the federal orders then.
