Do members of the Armed Forces have full Constitutional prerogatives?

Yes. They agree to surrender some of them, however.

I live in L.A. When a curfew was imposed after the '92 Rodney King Riots, Constitutional Rights of law-abiding citizens were temporarily affected. Should I have taken up arms against the National Guaurd then?

That was an immediate hazard, like a building on fire, not a prophylactic measure. Had they responded to the Rodney King riots by rounding up peaceable blacks not involved in the riots (nor even living in the affected areas) then yes, you should have.

Your comment regarding the Rodney King Riots...

That was an immediate hazard, like a building on fire, not a prophylactic measure. Had they responded to the Rodney King riots by rounding up peaceable blacks not involved in the riots (nor even living in the affected areas) then yes, you should have."

The context I gave for the possible imposition of martial law and further measures was after several suitcase nukes had gone off, with the imminent threat of more.

You're a Physicist, you tell me.. that's not an "immediate hazard?"
