The upper echelon of the services is not necessarily non political, if it sided with a tyrannical government and moved against citizens would you, as an armed services member disarm, arrest and imprison American citizens only because they exercise their 2nd amendment rights?
“What if the command structure doesn’t stand down, and orders troops to disarm, arrest and imprison citizens arbitrarily?

I think we can already answer that question both for me and for most all of our existing military personnel.
The truth is their trained to be traitors to liberty, their command structured should be expected to give such orders and almost all of their drones will follow such orders. We have seen this before and we will doubtlessly do it again.
The U.S. military is a machine build and purged by Washington to serve them no matter what lawless thing they order em to do. We have to try to change this, but truthfully as long as we have a standing army under the command of Washington this will always largely be the case.
