Of course you could replace the officers that threatened to resign rather than fight the U.V.F. with officers from the Indian Army with no links to Ulster.On the army yes not all of the army would be mutinas or anything but the Curragh incident is worring considering that kind of explicit political threat hadn't been done by the British army sense the civil war, combine whith the fact that a large portion of the British officer corps where Irish protistance and you can see why the army may not be reliable in a shoting war in Ulster, lagitmit or not.
