This is why I think getting a navy seal to assassinate a rival is more possible than like, getting “the military” to seize congress. The first you just need to find one loyal trigger finger, in the second law and norms are going to cause fractures in the force, and you don’t know how it shakes out.

A coup I think will go against whoever tries to kick it off, I think, because all these guys overlapping laws, norms, regulations, and trainings are going to come into conflict with each other. In the vacuum, I think institutional instincts overcome the basic “conservatism” of the organization.
