If any Military force under orders, refuses those orders, there isn't any going back. Even if the State backs off, that unit or units would be prosecuted to the fullest extent, if not destroyed. No do-overs in a Military refusing to comply to their Civilian Representative's (read superior's) orders. Individuals could wink at certain times, much as some did during Katrina, but a Unit including their Officers? Both sides better think long and hard about using the National Guard against their own parents, siblings and townsfolk. Not too very many "large" City/liberals join the National Guard. The National Guard is mostly composed of small town folks, (read conservative), Virginia especially. The National Guard is used effectively in Large City riots and crisis's, their being from those small towns, I believe being a big factor. Large cities have always been an anathema to more rural folk. If those in power want a Revolution to kick off, use the National Guard against their own people. Regular folks can go back and beg forgiveness, soldiers cannot...My take anyways.
