Is this true? It's so hard to find info that I can trust and being an aussie there wasn't much news about it here at the time. Does this mean the millitary isn't going to save us? I just don't know what to believe anymore.

No. Esper was the problem.
Remember some of the retired General like Mattis and John Kelly also started bullshitting how unconstitutional it would be, yet these men never said a word when Dubya used it in the L.A. riots. Quite a few generals are outright liars as well as traitors.
I wish he'd recalled some of those Generals back to active duty (especially Hayden) and had them court martialed for their constant sniping under the military code that says they aren't allowed to diss any public officials - especially the C.I.C.
If the Brass don't respect the chain of command, then they shouldn't be surprised if enlisted men start dissing their officers and disobeying orders because they don't agree with the politics. That is what would eventually happen if officers get away with such disrespect.
