Pissing off the military at this scale only makes sense as a plan if two things are true:

1. You aren't worried about future elections
2. Failure is the plan

And even then, it's a terrible idea but for very different reasons.

You need to maintain enough competence so the failure is controlled failure all the way down, so you don't end up like Ceaușescu.
