Refusing to be deployed somewhere (a technically legal, though extremely dubious order) is different than refusing to execute civilians (an illegal order, which can and should be refused). You should understand the nuances of the UCMJ before you spout sweeping generalizations like that.
Refusing orders means being court marshaled, losing your position, and, at best, getting the military to pay you back pay after fighting them for months. You won’t be getting your position or pension back, though.
At worst, you go to military jail.
You can probably see why that’s not so much happening.
And that is why they are also the enemy: “I was just carrying out my orders, otherwise I would lose my pension!”, yeah that pathetic excuse has never worked.
The cannon fodder is not the enemy
They are literally the enemy if they are there to violently oppress lawful demonstrations.
Then refuse the orders. Otherwise they are complicit.
