In reply to the discussion: Attempted Military Coup D'etat [View all]Snarkoleptic
(5,997 posts)34. Here's a link to a spine-tingling US Army War College piece on a fictional 2012 US Military Coup.
It's an eerie piece of fiction written in 1992 and entitled "The Origins of the US Military Coup of 2012".
The link is a 1.3mb pdf document, so proceed with caution.

The author's Wikipedia page says-
Dunlap is currently a professor at Duke University School of Law, where he teaches courses on national security law and the use of force in international law, among other topics.[2]
Dunlap wrote an essay in 1992 called The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012[3] in which he asserts that the blurring of the military role of the armed forces into civilian missions might be dangerous to democracy and civilian government.

A "military" coup? What was the "uniform of the day" while staging the coup? Nudity? Just medals?
