He'll ask a general, "Are you going to carry out these orders?"

If the answer is, Yes, 47 wins.

If the answer is, No, he'll just replace the general and ask the next one. Yes, to be promoted TO general, but not to be moved to a new position.

And, knowing a lot of military staff at both officer and enlisted rank, there's a LOT more people willing to do this than you think.

The only question is, will it be immediately or will it be just before the next election, which he will declare a state of emergency and the not have an election.

If he asks "will you do it?" Just say "yes" then don't do it.

I do it at work all the time.
