22. The one "check"

is the "legacy" that he wants to maintain for his children and even if he tries such a foolhardy move, I think the wife and ex-wife and kids might intervene.

As it is, there are over 1 million active duty military, and they are DEFINITELY NOT 100% MAGats (even at the higher levels since there are so many layered at those higher levels). I think this is why you hear the retired military keep emphasizing the thing about not carrying out "illegal orders" (as a reminder). These people have seen Presidents and Secretaries and Defense come and go.

It's just like me as a civilian, who worked under 6 Presidents and 9 HHS Secretaries (confirmed and Actings).
