As a member of the Armed Forces myself, I would have to say the time to draw the line would be when they give you orders that defy the constitution. That would not be considered a "lawful" order. The oath we all took had that part "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and
domestic." When that line is crossed you'll know. Revisit the antics of the
Gestapo.
I for one am not going to stand idly by, and watch my rights that my predecessors fought and died for go the way of the dodo. I'm an active NRA member, I instill the knowledge of our rights and freedoms to my son, I vote, and I exercise my first amendment right to my congress critter/local delegates. If everyone did that, someone might listen. The arrogance and ignorance of our fearless leaders astounds me. Back in my lane, out.
