In the real world, that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be marched off to some courtyard, placed up against a wall, and summarily executed by means of a military firing squad.
The firing squad would consist of the traditional number of six riflemen. At least one person would be issued a blank round so that there is plausible deniability that a person actually killed the condemned person.
I won't go much further into the gory details but in the end, the worms would devour the dead person's brain from inside his skull and from what I've heard, his toenails will keep growing after he was dead.
Of course, this is all fantasy. Because we no longer live in the "real world." That Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would probably be given a high rank in the People's Liberation Army, as well as a diminutive Chinese girl who would rub his back and wash his uniform every day. And cook too. And other things that I won't mention.
