What would happen if someone were to detain a group of marines (with the minimal force necessary), in the wrong assumption - honest mistake - that they were about to execute illegal orders?
They’re trained and equipped in a way that you are not. I do not expect this to succeed unless you’ve already convinced them that they want to surrender.
While they have the physical ability to resist, they don’t have the legal right. They are subject to the same laws as anyone in the US.
In fact, they might be commanded to stand down and accept it, because the legal implications of acting like an occupying force would have long term, very bad effects for the existence of the marines.
While that might sound far fetched, the marine corps is smart, and would allow a few soldiers to face some humiliation and risk the government that funds them thinking “what if that was my kids?”
You ever come across the hornet’s nest that you need to clear, where they can sting you multiple times and aren’t really afraid all that much of dying.
Unless they’re willing this is probably notably worse
