you're probably right, but the scenario was actually that some of the top military and government folks attempt a power play. if the right people were to team up on that one they could get a large portion of the military in motion to fight an insurgency. as they are moving into place all the loyal military units would be positioning to prevent and the common soldier only knows that there is some sort of coup that he is trying to stop, while in reality he may be on the side of the aggressors... if done properly, it would take a long time to sort out the peaces and real players can take advantage of confusion.
it is EXTREMELY improbable, but not impossible.
