#1 Practically speaking, while there may be a coup, it may not be for the reasons they think.

When senior officers mutiny against general officers, it is usually because they are convinced the general officers are incompetent, mentally unfit, or treasonous, and are endangering the mission or the unit.

And senior officers are far less likely to be fanatics, because they usually learn to smell b.s. at a great distance.
