      I mean that’s probably why its best (for the individuals serving at least) to quit, once you quit you don’t have to make the decision to obey or disobey orders, so you don’t need to deal with court-martials either way.

      Unfortunately, this also means that everyone who stays are probably morally corrupt and would not longer adhere to the constitution.
