I'm not saying these men are right but your line of reason is how the massacre in Tiananmen Square occured.

Tianamen happened because the PLA was commited to prevent the existing system from being brought down. Very typical of a professional army commited towards its national establishment. We as well as most professional forces have two basic tenants in our school of thought...Command and Control. Everybody can't start calling the shots. Period.
