Biggest argument in favor of compulsory military service I've ever seen. The everyday citizen soldiers didn't give a fuck about the coup, and weren't willing to risk confrontation with their military trained fellow citizens for a wannabe dictator. It was a beautiful thing.

You don't need conscripts. This is just, quite literally, one of the foundations of (small r) republican thought.
They sent tier 1 SOF and MP, but yeah even they didn't want to be involved
