That is extremely doubtful. Just two weeks ago, the Joint Chiefs on their own say-so cancelled the Kerry-Lavrov cease fire by attacking the Syrian army. That looks a lot like a mutiny. In the aftermath, they also forced Kerry to repudiate his own policy of negotiating a cease fire and to accept the hardline Pentagon line. If that is not a coup d’etat, then at least the Joint Chiefs have escaped civilian control and now enjoy the independence of action and freedom from restraint of a Latin American junta.
