Penalties, even if found guilty are negligible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Negligible when the Deep State is in control. Takes time to clean the swamp out of the Military - hopefully enough were flushed out of the sewer. Never been a coup attempt like the one going on now to shade a person’s decision when deciding on penalties.
In 2018 I saw an attempt to overturn the law regarding the inclusion of retired military being subject to courts-martial. It failed. This was before John McCain ‘died’.
Two huge wins for President Trump in the last few weeks

The first was when President Trump announced to the nation that it was time for our governors to end the lockdown and re-open their states for busines--and if they don't, he would. He also stated that if we do re-open, our economy would come roaring back as people go back to work. May's numbers prove him right.
The second was when President Trump told the governors that if they can't stop the anarchists from rioting in their states, he would. Those who called in the National Guard saw immediate improvement. In the case of D.C. where even the White House was under siege by anarchists and the Democrat mayor refused to restore order, President Trump sent in ready troops to stand by to defend our nation's federal buildings and property. There was even a video that went viral of federal snipers moving through the streets of D.C. and taking up strategic positions overlooking the most likely riot zones. Also, AG Barr announced that people caught traveling across state lines to riot will be prosecuted on federal charges. Not surprisingly, this one-two combo immediately ended the rioting in D.C., even during the largest protest of the series that took place that very day and night.
Negligible by statute. They are set penalties. As for participating in a coup, Art 88 will never see the charge sheet with the larger fish to fry. Art 88 Service members convicted of an Article 88 violation face a maximum punishment of dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and 1 year of forced confinement.
