I spent much of my last year on active duty teaching CPR, Self Aid & Buddy Care, and Law of Armed Conflict to USAF communications troops preparing for deployments. Including the duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders. I would have guessed it only about 40% or so... but that was Air Force.

There is a joke about an Army General, a Navy Admiral, a Marine General, and an Air Force General in a bar at a Joint Service base. They're bragging about how brave their branches troops are.
The Army General orders one of the Privates to attack and destroy a tank passing the O-Club. Using movement and fire, the private assaults the tank with his M-16, until it runs over and squishes him. The General says, "Now that's bravery!"
The Admiral tells one of the Sailors to attack the tank. Using needle scaler and paint brush, the Sailor attacks the tank and is immediately squished.
The Admiral says, now that's bravery!
The Marine General tells one of the Marines to attack that tank! The Marine draws his Kabar, and stabs the tank track, gets dragged in and both he and his Kabar get squished.
The Marine General says"Now that is bravery!
The Air Force General tells one of the Airman to attack the tank. The airman says "&#%$ you! You're not in my chain of command!"
And the Air Force General says, "Now that's REAL bravery!"

This right here is why I have absolutely no trust in law enforcement or the military. I believe there’d be a few with a moral compass and a backbone that WOULDN’T, but I believe the vast majority of both would do whatever they’re told to keep their jobs.

On the other side of the coin, I believe the resistance to such tyranny is going to EXTREMELY SMALL, because the American people have been trained to be rule followers. For any who want to argue this, just think back 4 years to the mask mandates and lockdowns. This country is FULL of sheep.

As far as the UN Troops, It's up to the controlling country to allow them to be armed or not. Most countries consider them to be peace keepers and rescue units, but once again, it's up to the country they are serving in.


Introduction1. The primary responsibility for the security and protection of United Nations personnel and other individuals covered by the United Nations Security Management System (UNSMS) rests with the host Government. However, circumstances may arise where it may be mandated or otherwise necessary to supplement existing host Government capacity with, inter alia, armed United Nations peacekeepers, including United Nations guard units provided by Member States or private security services.1 Under certain circumstances, when such options are not available, applicable, appropriate or sufficient, the arming of trained2security professionals may be considered in order to protect UNSMS personnel. In those instances, there are specific principles and procedures established in this policy that must be followed.
