Or the CIC could tell the General that if he disagrees he can retire and thanks for your service.

Capt Gregory Prickett I did not think that POTUS used troops for re-election but you can have you opinion.
If he thought the MJS got the verdict wrong then he has the authority to step in and correct it within his authority. I assume you are speaking of the Navy Seal incident? In my opinion the Navy screwed the pooch on that one!
Yup the POTUS has not taken the advice of his military commanders at times. As I recall POTUS Kennedy did not take the advice of Gen. Lemay either when he wanted to bomb Cuba. So the CIC has the option no go along with the advice given or not to. Also how many different commanders have been to Afghanistan and failed to bring it under control? That list sir is long and distinguished! But most got their next star.
For the time being I am going to accept the reports that he was not told of the reports. If the Intelligence Agency’s can show that they briefed POTUS on it on said day well then we have a different situation. But again the previous two Presidents knew the Iranians were helping the Iraqi insurgents build IEDs more specifically the EFP version that blew apart my truck in January 2008. What did they do about it? And sir as I recall POTUS Obama sent blankets to Ukraine and POTUS Trump sent TOW weapons systems. And the list goes on.
