Something to keep in mind.
Most armies swear an oath of allegiance to their country's king, emperor, whatever.
In the US every officer swears, specifically, to "uphold and defend the Constitution, against all enemies foreign and domestic".
They take that oath very seriously. To the point where there is significant doubt among politicians about just where the Armed Forces would stand if a President or Congress tried to order them to be used to oppress the people.
The good money right now is on 90+% of them not only refusing the order, but a large proportion actively working against it.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
