19. They could be court martialed

They might be dealt with administratively at an article 15 hearing. They might be kicked out. They could be court martialed.

After the fact, maybe lawyers could get some of the actions overturned. Maybe even force the service to give them back pay and allow them back in or get their records corrected for the discharge type. It's happened before with the repeal of DADT and with people who got kicked out for refusing the covid shot.

But the military won't wait around for years while lawyers argue about it and it gets pushed all the way up to the supreme court for a final decision. They'll take action against members who refuse to follow orders.
