Then democracy is dead anyway. This is the reason why military coups are a bad thing, Varrus. They don't need a reason to turn rogue; but before it happens, the defectors will be "taken care of."
Edit: And that's the point. There's no reason here. The guy could have revoked his own orders; the military simply looked at him, said "Well, if you're dumb enough to say this, it's not like we'd twist your arm," and signed off. Good riddance to bad garbage.
