More information is needed to answer this question.
A US citizen may decide to rob a bank and then he may murder or attempt to murder another US citizen in that case I would pull the trigger on such a person.Or he may become a threat to the people and join an organization that is a threat to the people and/or the Constitution in that case i would pull the trigger on that person if violence where the only recourse.
The oath sworn states that you will defend the people from
any enemy foreign or domestic. A threat to the people to the Constitution can come from outside or within. In other words if the order given is constitutional and valid and just then the trigger shall be pulled.
Honestly I cant say on the second part there a many different people in the military and views vary greatly some are very conservative some are liberal others have no interest in politics.In my experience the political make up armed forces members is as varied as it is in the general population.
