If you refuse the Trump administration will arrest and imprison you. This is if you are lucky. They could just execute you on the side of the road.
There is legal protection because all the DOD lawyers are MAGA loyalists- ie no one is going to stand by you. This is the way the Russians do it.

You should be stating things like. If you have concerns about orders please seek legal counsel. It'd be like me saying hey. Be careful and do stuff but we're not sure it's legal but use your own judgment. Please come on now
YOU may not know what an illegal order is but the military are trained on this (and may be smarter than you.)
Dear God, I hope they are smarter than this poster.

That said, I think it is plausible that they honestly believe their own strange assertions that Trump will send the military into the streets to harass soccer moms and put black people into concentration camps. Although I don't see any evidence that Trump wants to do these things, I've heard several democratic figures literally saying that Trump would send the military to round up black people and send them to camps. (This seems really expensive and unnecessary but whatever- it's their fantasy.) If you actually believe this kind of conspiracy stuff, it is rational to want to tell military members not to follow orders like that. And I agree, if Trump tries to send troops to round up the 50M black people in America, they should not follow that order. I just don't believe Trump will do that.
