Your scenario is extremely unlikely. Anyone who attains the rank of general (actually, anybody above colonel) is just another pol.
Also, the various branches could never get it together to coordinate such a thing. The elite units such as Special Forces would never go along.
If there was some kind of intra-military struggle, whoever prevailed would have to deal with an array of agencies and institutions that could muster their own army.
Gee, with the militarization of federal law enforcement coupled with the gutting of the military, maybe a military coup would be a good thing, before its too late.
