Blowhards. Even if their nightmares were to come true, they would still quiver in their bedrooms.
Not to mention the delusional beliefs that the military would be on their side and that the opposition are a bunch of unarmed sheep.
Per Ware and Hoffman God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America something is rotten in the state of Denmark US Army. To quote small snippet:
With the advent of the war on terror, the issue was largely forgotten.
In fact, as the Southern Poverty Law Center reported, two overseas wars
meant that, again, “due to recruiting shortages, the military [was] relax-
ing bans on extremists joining the armed forces.” 42 Aryan Nations graf-
fiti surfaced in Baghdad, and a Department of Defense gang investigator
told the SPLC that “there’s plenty of evidence we’re talking numbers well
into the thousands, just in the Army.” 43 The question resurfaced in 2008
with an FBI report titled “White Supremacist Recruitment of Military Per-
sonnel Since 9/11.” The FBI warned that “the prestige which the extremist
movement bestows upon members with military experience grants them
the potential for influence beyond their numbers. Many members of
domestic violent extremist groups have served in the U.S. military, and
those with this experience often hold positions of authority within the
groups to which they belong.” 44 Daryl Johnson’s unit then doubled down

I don't claim to know much about American army and going by gut feeling I wouldn't expect them to support putschists but there are far right scum there and many things previously thought unthinkable happened.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
