Refusing orders means being court marshaled, losing your position, and, at best, getting the military to pay you back pay after fighting them for months. You won't be getting your position or pension back, though.

At worst, you go to military jail.

You can probably see why that's not so much happening.

And that is why they are also the enemy: "I was just carrying out my orders, otherwise I would lose my pension!", yeah that pathetic excuse has never worked.
