I think it was also done to show that their is corruption within the ranks of the military. I have seen first hand that there are those who remember their oath to the Constitution and are apart of the good forces and there are those who have pledged an oath to the corrupt leadership and continue to participate in the takeover...Its treason plain and simple. As much as a hate it as I have been impacted in my professional career by exposing their actions it had to be this way otherwise the snakes would have kept devouring their prey...Now the snakes are exposed and no longer hiding. There actions are blatant and shocking but i try to have faith that its because they know their end is near and their time is running out.
