These are guidelines to keep the troops out of trouble. They're not litigating the order itself to deploy to DC.

Being prepared to illegally fire on civilians is trouble.

Yes, it is big trouble. The point is that the orders to deploy, carrying weapons, are coming from the Secretary of Defense. National Guard commanders cannot disobey that. They can only try to maintain discipline and reduce the chances of what they all must be dreading.

Even worse, Hesgeth today in a WH EO 'press conference' acknowledged that djt gave the direction. Can't find it now, but one of @atrupar.com clips from this morning.
