Well, at least they aren't plotting a coup.

... yet:
“[L]et me reassure you on this. A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, ‘Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let’s have a resignation,’” [GOP congressman] Lamborn said Tuesday, adding that if generals resigned en masse in protest of President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy, they would “go out in a blaze of glory.”
That's very reassuring. Those of you who just watched The Roosevelts are familiar with the fact that he overruled his generals' desire to forget about going after Germany first and concentrate on the Pacific. The Generals complied. And in that case the fate of the world really did depend upon making the right decision.
Of course, that doesn't mean they would never do it. And they could plot a coup as well. (It wouldn't be the first time.)
In case you were wondering, Lamborn voted for the Syrian funding and in his recent questioning of Secretary Hagel was just mainly concerned that the president wasn't leaving every, single last military option on the table. He ended his comments by saying he would continue to support everything the president is doing. Seriously.
