The whole system is designed to keep working no matter what they think. Their recourse for this move is simply to quit, allowing their posts to be filled by people who won’t oppose these kinds of moves. It’s how the military has always worked, and I doubt the generals are going to start changing now. For them fascism promises(even if it cant deliver it) safety by going with the status quo. They’re not going to start attacking American institutions, they’re just going to quit.
