If it is indeed true that the upper ranks were thinned to keep the ones that would fire, then with a new President, I’d expect these same people would be hunted down and thrown out.
Well .. I would hope so.
All it might take is a few ruined careers for the point to be made. The CIC does not have the right to fire on the public .. and if they were willing to follow such an evil plan; they do not belong in our military.
