Where in the Constitution does it give the military the authority to overthrow the government? The cause may be just. The rationale may be sound. But it doesn't negate that fact that the Constitution will be destroyed. Does going above and beyond the Constitution in order to save its principles have any consequences? You bet it does.
The Constitution is not self-sustaining. It's just a piece of paper with text on it. Do you think those who wrote and ratified it didn't understand this obvious fact? It's not "destroying" the Constitution to literally uphold it by force against those breaking and desecrating it.
