8. Possibly Gates is reacting to recent RW crap about a military coup.

Then again, it's not as though Gates made it sound like "of course, the military will execute whatever the Commander in Chief directs. Any else would be unthinkable."

No, Gates made it sound almost as though the military has a choice in the matter and has decided to go with following the orders of the CIC. In realty, it probably does have a choice, too. Scary thought, eh?

The country must have contingency plans re: a miltary coup, right? Please tell me it does.
