It happened recently, and unsuccessfully, in Russia. Although I suppose that's different because it was a private military force.

And this isn't a war of ideology or genocide. It's a straight-up modern invasion of an independent ally.

I could see a real possibility of a military professional risking treason to stop the insanity. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think the US Forces would fall as easily in line as they did in Russia, which was an already established dictatorship.
