I'd like to know what the soldiers in our military would actually do if they were deployed in Greenland or Canada with the orders of taking over. You gonna shoot our fucking friends?
Historically yes, that's what would happen. Most recently when the invasion in Ukraine started and Russians attacked their neighbors. It doesn't take much time of fighting and it becomes them vs us.
It was always fascinating to me how this stuff can be turned on and off by a single phone call. A flip of a switch.

There are a lot of good Americans in our armed forces.
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of trash too.
So yeah, I think some units might hesitate, while others would laugh gleefully at the chance to kill 'elitist europeans' or whoever they can.
This is basically a video game to them, the only difference is they're not 2 joints in on their couch in Tennessee.
