Conspiracy to make a mutiny?

A (strong) warning for the Generals? I think so.
In example two, the top 100 generals in the Army military chain of command secretly agree amongst themselves to retire and speak out — each one day after the other.
In example one, above, unambiguously, the general has behaved lawfully. In example two, an arguable case could be made that something in the nature of a mutinous sedition has occurred in violation of Article 94 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice procedure. When does an expanded version of the simple honesty and legality of the first example cross over into grounds for a court martial?
More specifically, can a series of lawful resignations turn into a mutiny? And if they are agreed upon in advance, have the agreeing generals formed a felonious conspiracy to make a mutiny?
This may sound far-fetched, but in Sunday’s Washington Post the very smart, very well-connected former Clinton Ambassador to the United Nations Richard Holbrooke published an article entitled “Behind the Military Revolt.” In this article he predicts that there will be increasing numbers of retired generals speaking out against Sec. Rumsfeld. Then, shockingly, he writes the following words: “If more angry generals emerge — and they will — if some of them are on active duty, as seems probable . . . then this storm will continue until finally it consumes not only Donald Rumsfeld.”
I stand with Rummy. This is a different war with a very different enemy. This isn’t the time for bitter, begrudged Generals to start a revolt. These men have taken too many estrogen pills, I think, and are turning into feminine mansy pansy men. The anti war protests haven’t stopped this war; the Cindy Sheehan shenigans have had little impact; the far left’s accusations of this war being for oil has died a dull death. Michael Moore is a bore. People are not stupid and we see this latest attack by these so called Generals for what it is: An attack on President Bush. Stop it already fuckers. It isn’t going to work. We remember September 11th? Have they forgotten? Seems so.
