So I was watching this Chinese rambo movie and in it there's a scene where a PMC made out of ex-SF are hired by some african rebel warlord. The PMC leader kills the warlord and takes control of the rebel forces, since his soldiers are better trained and capable and the warlord's security are unable to protect him.
My question is, what prevents this from happening to the US? Staff officers presumably are no longer really capable of fighting, so if a PMC decided to attack the US central command and take control of the US military after killing the top generals, what could anyone do to stop it? If they're ex-SF or ex-Delta or something I find it unlikely the base security would be able to stop them.
it's an okay action movie once you tune out from all the CNaboo nonsense

I am just going to say that I sincerely hope you are not actually this fucking stupid.

>PMC with a $500,000,000 budget wants to take on the US military that has a $1,000,000,000,000 budget Good luck with that
William Allen
its not about 'taking on' the US - how do you stop them from taking over the military? if they just showed up at a central command or the Pentagon, cleared out the staff officers, and declared that they were in charge, what stops them? Esp if they're ex-SF and the defenders are regular security guards

>what stops them? What empowers them? Like I said, why would they want to control this shithole? Even if they did your little hypothetical situation, what's stopping the lower grunts from retaliating? How about local forces? How about a militia?

The entire rest of the US military prevents them from taking over the US military.

What stops random civvies from taking over a defended US facility?
