“The National Guard requires its members take an oath saying that they will defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Constitution gives Congress the power to call up the militia to execute the laws of the union and to suppress rebellion. If the National Guardsman isn't willing to do their duty as soldiers under the Constitution then maybe they shouldn't be National Guardsmen”

Exactly the point. If the lethal force against American citizens that are trying to overthrow the Constitution - then the National Guardsmen have a duty to suppress rebellion.

If the order from on high is an illegal order under the Constitution - then they have a duty to disobey that order.
