Bush's comments recently about wanting the military to take a greater role in the aftermath of Katrina is frightening. It also brought to mind an essay called "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012," which I went back and re-read. The essay is now over a decade old, and in some ways it shows its age, but the overall contours of what it describes are eerily prescient.
