It's not just listening to him, though. These will be orders that are coming down the chain of command with very immediate consequences for disobeying your officers. Armies are deliberately designed to make individual choices as difficult to implement as possible.
Who will discipline the men and women from not obeying? That's a lot of men and women with guns against a few 100 officers and generals. Let alone a dictator. The military will not go down that road to turn America into a dictatorship.
If it violates the constitution, the orders are to be ignored. They cannot punish soldiers for following immoral/illegal orders. Again, who the FUCK is going to stop them?
We can hope. But they will be lied to. They will be told that it's a force of immigrants trying to take over a capital. Or "Antifa" rebels who murdered farmers, or something.

The military doesn't reward critical thinking.
