NOT to the President/Commander in Chief.

Most of our generals probably get the distinction that they're to uphold the Constitution, defending against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Domestic includes a rouge President - like Trump.

The service members on the front lines are not really taught to think but to act upon orders. I hope when the time comes some of them will be able to rise up to the Oath.
