He just hasn't removed the right people...yet. The military will be coming, make no mistake.
IMO it's unlikely, from the day you "swear in", throughout all of boot camp and at regular trainings after its beat into you that you serve the constitution and that you can and SHOULD disregard an illegal order and what constitutes an illegal order AND an illegal order from the Commander in chief especially is still an illegal order and should be dealt with accordingly
And let me tell you, there's far far FAR more enlisted just waiting for an illegal order to come through so they can finally tell an officer to go fuck themselves
So much wishful thinking.
The US military is the biggest commitor of war crimes behind Israel, they regular slaughter civilians and laugh about it, and the only ones to ever get in trouble and serve time are always the whistle blowers.
What planet do you live on?
Well, you see, those people that the American military murders on a regular basis are brown people in a faraway country, so they don't count or something.
As with most things, people don't care until it personally affects them or people they personally know.
The racism subject aside, I DO think a the majority of them are gonna give big wtf's when they're told to do that to American citizens on American soil, regardless of skin color. There will be some who enjoy it because they're scum, but I definitely know that even the craziest motherfuckers with the most PTSD who enlisted in several branches would tell you to go fuck yourself if you deployed them to New York and said beat the shit out of or shoot these civilians. They may be dumb as fuck, but they aren't all that stupid. And yes I know this is naive and optimistic.
The issue is that they're doing what they can to make those orders legal. They're not there yet, they'll hopefully hit plenty of resistance before they get there, and they're not exactly renowned for being competent, but they're working on it.
