I think that's a valid point but, at the risk of getting pedantic, during the Civil War, entire regions aligned themselves with one side or the other. Yeah, maybe a couple of South Carolinians joined up with Union forces, and a couple of Pennsylvanians aligned with the Confederacy, but, by and large, the allegiances of citizens lay with their state governments' respective decisions re secession. Although there certainly were multiple examples of families and/or neighbors split by the war, the romanticized brother v. brother dynamic is a little over-played (for dramatic effect).
In the T2k scenario, if a particular organization was predisposed to one side or the other in the Mil-Civ split, I imagine
most (but not all) member personnel would go along with the agency. There would be outliers, though, who decide to follow their conscience instead of their leaders/organization.
