If the people said they disagreed with the leader and didn't like him, and then the dictator did something illegal by trying to persuade them somehow to have them vote for him, how is it wrong for the military to stage a coup? They're voters too, and if the people don't like it, then they are the arm of the people. I understand that if they installed one of their own, then that is illegal too, and wrong. But in the end, if they merely took him out of power because the people disagreed, then I don't see how it's wrong.
It may have been John Locke who said it, not 100% sure, but if the government is doing something wrong, and the people disagree and are being unjustly ruled, they can remove the dictator in revolt. That revolt could be staged by the local militia or a the peoples army, all the militias coming together. Now if that were so, and the military did it without installing their own, then how is it wrong?
This is just my thought, but I'm not 100% of the situation.
