Why shouldnt it have happened? The MP's offered their assistance and later in the day the Sheriff CALLED BACK and accepted the help doing menial, non-law enforcement duties. Would you rather have no one doing the job? No one directing traffic, and no one securing crime scenes? Even if you think it shouldnt have happened doesnt make it illegal either.
A soldier can disobey an order if it is an illegal order, not if it is unconstitutional. That is not a soldier's duty. An example of an illegal order would be to fire on a peaceful protest, an unconstitutional order would be one like this. Those MP's had no legal authority to refuse to comply. That Lt.Col that gave the orders has that duty, those MP's did not.
What interviews have you seen that a soldier has said he would not fire on the US public? What circumstances is that under? I will tell you for a fact that either you the interviewer is using creative editing. Who is too far gone to realize that what is inhumane? If you mean firing on the US public, I will assure you that they will shoot to kill if that order is given if they are fired upon or otherwise threatened. If they didnt they all need to be executed for disobeying a lawful order.
