Personally I know of very few militaries in history and around the world which refused to open fire on their fellow citizens. Certain German units in the fall of 1918, certain Russian units at about the same time, Portugal in 1974. Certain Russian units in 1991. I would be hard pressed to find any more instances from the top of my head.
Usually the chain of command is stronger than the individual. And all the above examples are of times and countries where that chain already was broken.
