Quote from the George W Bush official in this article:

"Of course, the mind cannot help but drift towards the nefarious when the stupidity overwhelms every conceivable explanation for why the entire senior leadership of the US military would be ordered to depart their commands, and assemble at a precise geographic point at a precise time," he wrote. "Were the scenario the basis for a movie depicting the beginning of a coup it would be dismissed as too far-fetched because nothing so absurd could ever be allowed to happen in real life — not to mention the cost, waste of taxpayer money and massive logistics involved. Yet, here we are."

In a just world where traditional American values like the constitution were respected. Our military leaders who swore an oath to the constitution would arrest Pete then and there. They would then arrange a military tribunal for the entire trump administration for this disregard of American law and traditional values.
