I’m saying right now it’s neither wise nor warranted, as messed up as it may sound.
When Trump actually orders them to do something unconstitutional, they can refuse it. When he refuses to step down from the end of his term as president and order them to crush the states that don’t ratify his third term, they can remove his ass.
But the things you want them to do right now, while I don’t inherently disagree with, just sound impulsive and foolish.

Sort of like back in 2021 when he led a violent coup with the goal of murdering Congress and the VPOTUS because he didn’t want to step down?
I am so glad that the military… let me check my notes… ah, yes. Waited to see who would win.

Are you a high schooler that just learned that being cynical will make you sound smarter among peers who don’t have the knowledge to challenge you?
Explain what should have happened in that scenario in your view.
Which person in the military has the authority to unilaterally deploy US Military personnel for the purposes of domestic law enforcement?
What authority allows them to ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, which explicitly does not allow the use of the Military for domestic law enforcement?
Or, if you want to go after the NG service members, what should they do as individuals in your mind? Should they refuse to leave their barracks? Maybe go to their commanding officer and ask to be arrested? What specific thing?
You’re throwing a lot of stones and summoning hypotheticals without any apparent understanding of how the military functions.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t resist.
