Including soldiers? Maybe? Please say you're planning on deliberately screwing over one of the absolutely key groupings that you need on your side for this whole thing to work. That would be wonderful.
Don't forget: They're not loyal to you. Remember all that stony silence from the assembled generals even when the most popular president in history walked on stage? I don't think they deserve back pay, man. They need to get their minds right first. Teach them a lesson.
