Ladies and gentlemen, should an officer of the Armed Forces refuse to follow or implement any order or policy of the Congress or Courts that he considers to be unconstitutional?

Yes. Read the oath of office they take.

Yep.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely; and without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter; So help me God.

If it’s not an immediate critical issue he or she should first try to get a ruling on the constitutionality. If that option is not allowed him/her then yes, he/she should disobey, because the failure of the process to work is further evidence of foul play.
