I think the word we're looking for is
putsch -- a short review of Russian history in the 1930's under Stalin will show multiple parallels,
sans the actual blood.
I finally realized that a FaceBook friend from HS in the 70s is no smarter than she was back then when she proclaimed her support of The One just before the election. She did this in the face of having a daughter, son-in-law, and son on active duty in the Army and living in Eastern KY Coal Country. I have shown much restraint in not making FB posts of every coal company layoff for her attention.

Very, very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Worth reading is the complete Stripes article and especially the letters that followed it.

I never say “gays” unless it’s in quotes. Or just HOMOS.

When a Flag Rank officer runs afoul of the powers that be he is usually offered a court martial or retirement. Years ago my father told the Pentagon something they did not want to hear vis-a-vis force retention. He was given the above choices. He had two small children and could not afford to fight them. He was a doctor and it caused a major stink in the medical community. It almost killed him after 33 years of service.
