OK I'll put my tinfoil hat on for a minute and play along, If martial law is declared, there will probably be a thin line that both soldier and citizen alike will have to decide whether they will cross. The citizen will have to decide if he wants to subject himself to the will of the military...or not.

The soldier will have to make the same choice...

I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
He will have to decide if those orders are legally and morally correct. I will guess that there will be some who will follow orders without question, others will not.

The better question is, if the country implodes, and the military are ordered to fire on citizens, what are YOU prepared to do.
