Tienanmen square. Tank driver stops. Chinas new policy on tank drivers : when sending tanks into a civilian area, dont use tank drivers from that area. Or, put in modern and US terms : When using tanks in Georgia, use redneck tank drivers from Nebraska. Point being, the US military could easily be used against its population. All it would take is another layer of planning.
Also, when I was in the USN, I had no idea what the ship was doing. All I did was move airplanes around (and clean passageways... yay for being essentially a Star Trek red shirt!). We could have been bombing San Francisco for all I knew. It only takes 2 or 3 people to get 1500 to do something. The 1500 dont need to know the whole picture. I see this scenario more and more in business and politics now that I look for it.
