Indeed. The question will be how to keep the military, commandeered to kill their own countrymen, from following this illegal command.
Take the Texas national guard, tell them Portland has been overrun by Antifa, and send them in. That's the trick. If you send the locals, they won't do it. You have to get people who will listen to you and aren't local, that way they don't think they're fighting their neighbors.
For example, at Tiananmen Square, they called up hundreds of thousands of troops from outside Beijing, not just for pure numbers, but because they would be less sympathetic to the students.
They already know this. That's why Stephen Miller is doing this exact thing.
When the local national guard units are deployed for riot control, usually they do a relatively good job. In the 1992 LA riots, there were a couple thousand CA guardsmen (I can't find a solid number) plus a couple thousand more other law enforcement, over 12,000 arrests, and 63 dead, of whom 9 were shot by police and only one by the national guard.
(Kent State is the notable exception.)
