((THunderhawk. Zagaroth has not been on for some time. If he does not come on in th enext day or so can i replace with an active member?? Dont want to but might as well have more active people in the main roles?))
I guess so. I assume that you cleared your new appointments with the Chief of Staff.
What about your cabinet posts? Are those unchanged?
As a reminder to all members of the first Andonie administration - whoever all is left, anyway - you still have probably about six hours to declare coups/resign in protest, and members of the incoming Andonie administration have the same period to announce policies and have them implemented in game. I'll update in about six hours.

I am appalled by the actions of President Andonie and his puppet Colonel Schmidt. Relieving me of my command because I did not take a side in this childish affair is not treason or going against my oath. What was I to do when I am hundreds of miles away from Santiago? It is an outrage to believe that the army should be ready for every beck and call the President needs, instead of being the independent arm it was created to be. I was following my duty to Chile and defending the Constitution by condemning both sides and not joining either. I had believed Andonie and possibly Schmidt to be honorable men, but relieving me of my command on the grounds of not choosing their side shows otherwise. I hereby resign my position within the Chilean Army. May God watch over these men now going into battle and watch over the Republic being ruled by such dishonorable men as President Andonie and Colonel Schmidt.

(...I had to do work all week so I avoided this forum. I got a pm telling me there was a Coup, what has happened since I left?)

So the Coup was put down? (And am I being replaced then rudders? I should have informed you I was not going to be here last week, but I am back now and would appreciate not loosing my position)
I Support the Government
Of course, Andonie's corruption and autocracy shows in his relieving Roseno of his army, for why else would he demand that the army be at his every beck and call, even when the attempted arrest had the support of so few that all that was required were the men guarding La Moneda? Roseno's support was not necessary, nor would it have made a difference had he decided to support Andonie, and yet the president decides that if the army is not loyal to him, it is not loyal to the Republic, a concept I find to be troublesome when we are supposed to be living in a democratic environment in which the military protects the people, the constitution, and the Republic, not the president.

There was no attempt to overthrow the government, unless the president is suddenly the government? Severino stated several times that his only intention was to arrest you, nothing else would change, not the cabinet, not the army, not our legislature, nothing. The only difference would be that you were removed from office.
If it is not autocratic to suddenly believe you are the government, a philosophy shared by King Louis XIV of France, then I do not know what is.
Furthermore, is freedom of speech suddenly non-existent in our Republic? If a man in government does not support the president, all of a sudden he is not fit to serve as a minister or a commanding officer and is to be removed from their post? You claimed all throughout this crisis that you acted in the name of democracy and that the Nacionales were the conspirators against the Chilean people, and yet here you are, trampling on freedom of speech and claiming that you are the government.
