If you wanted to do something really big to gain military control you would need a staging area right.

You know to say take 20 to 25 thousand of young men well trained to kill when threatened. Maybe force them into confined areas. Have them sleep gathered in groups on the floor. While constantly reminding them of a pandemic. The area would have to be Iconic, you know to inflame Patriotism. Make sure you box your soldiers in with fencing and barbed wire. This would be to insure your army feels completely trapped from the start. Be sure to bombard your troops with false reports of bomb threats and fake threat of organized attacks for the full 6 to 14 days of your army's incarceration. On the day of A Historical World wide event with the world watching. Give your tweaked out army permission to use lethal force. Aim them at the gate. Sit back and watch the world burn.......But what do I know that scenario could never happen rig
