    Just thinking out loud here.

    Faking it also give them power. If all the generals go in an give an oath to the furher, they don’t all have to mean it for it to have far reaching effects.

    But if you’re not going to take the oath, I feel like you have to have a real plan for resistance beyond just get escorted… out.

    It doesn’t help that our government was founded with a core principle of the military being subservient to a civilian command.

    These are smart people entrusted with the most powerful military in history. If anyone can find a strategy to prevent the Fourth Reich, it’s them.
