You are assuming, of course, that the whole of the military would follow orders to kill their fellow Americans. Granted, some of them would, but I would bet that most members of the military would have a difficult time following orders to bomb and shoot their fellow Americans - possibly people they grew up with and members of their own families.

Civil War.
Kent State.
Waco.

In fact there are lots of cases I could mention that refute what you just said.
