    Following Orders is deeply engrained in the military and obedience to authority is a hallmark of right-winger thought (they make up the bulk of the miliary). Unless it’s extremely heinous like “fire on this old folks home” most soldiers will probably go along with murder.

      That’s sort of what I’m asking but not 100%, what happens when a subset of the troops you’re standing with start firing on the troops firing on civilians? How quickly does that spiral out of control?

        It depends, I would guess. They usually source people from other regions so they don’t have any hang ups about shooting that city’s populace.
