"So care to tell me why you are calling it a "Mutiny" when it wasn't?"
It is generally known as a mutiny - it was mutinous in its intent and it was an open attempt to interfere in Government policy - the question as to whether it succeeded in changing Governmenyt policy has never been resolved.
Would you mind telling me why you are claiming that what the officers did was not wrong - by both military and civilian law?
Why are you defending Military interference in in Government actions.
I repeat, if it had taken place a few months later, whether it was successful or not, it would have been a treasonable act subject to the death penalty.
