What are your professional and personal views on the right and the duty of active and retired military to disobey illegal or unconstitutional orders? (Ref. UCMJ, Articles 90, 91, 92; and the Fourth Geneva Convention.)
For instance, in the event a sitting U.S. President loses an election in the electoral college, and as a means to stay in office declares martial law or invokes the 1807 Insurrection Act, should you obey such an order? Would you individually be willing to comply?
Let's have a frank and friendly discussion on this vital topic....

To disobey an illegal order I.E. you are ordered to kill civilians, is your sworn duty.
The constitutional part is above my pay grade...

If it was morally correct to do so yes. And that I could live with the ramifications of my actions I have no problem.
