And I'm not just expecting the one guy in a Norman Rockwell painting standing up to object. I'm talking, collectively, the entire Armed Forces refusing to invade and wage war on a peaceful member of NATO.
Despite what the President and his installed sycophants say or order, it's absolute lunacy to cross the 49th and start killing Canadians. You don't think there would be any resistance at all to Trump pointing his finger north and belching out "Conquer"?

If we are talking about Trump ordering a full scale invasion of Canada, then I could see powerful people in the military protesting.
But if it was something like Trump declaring a national emergency and ordering the occupation of a hydro electric dam and some sparsely inhabited are near the border, would they grin and bear it? Or if the U.S. decided that we didn't need some of the Arctic archipelago islands, but they did, would anyone in the U.S. military refuse?
A full scale invasion is pretty unlikely, but taking bits and pieces for strategic and economic benefits isn't that that far off IMO. Russia took Crimea in what was a pretty bloodless invasion (1 to 3 soldiers depending on which side is reporting, and 3 civilian protestors were killed). The U.S. could take a lot without a bullet being fired and I doubt the world does much but complain about it.
