    Ok hear me out for a second, sugarpie. The maximum leader of the military is the president. Any attacks on him is considered treason and can get them an expedited ticket to the death penalty.

      Hear me out. If they take out president, vice present… An so on until ask the rot is removed, then the next sane president can issue pardons.

          They have, in similar cases, acted as a transition between untenable authoritarianism, and democracy. I would trust our top officers over anyone in Trump’s cabinet (or even the Republican Congress at this point).

          I’m well aware of the dangers of a military coup. I just don’t know how else this could ever be stopped.
