Depends upon whom the coup is overthrowing. I took an oath to a piece of paper. Against all enemies foreign and domestic. It all just depends.

We are a military of "yes men" the government could say kill all the first born males and light all your household pets on fire and someone would make an OPORD on how their personnel will execute the mission. Opinions don't matter on this subject.

I believe you missed the bigger picture of my cynically sarcastic response.

Not a constructive use of bandwidth to even entertain such an idiotic question. Regardless of what the Teabaggers may wish for and fear (Jade Helm 15), the US Military is not a tool for politics, nor are we fools. Hate your Commander-In-Chief? That's a personal choice. Disobey the orders? Different topic altogether.

That sounds like a loaded question... If I said yes, should I expect a knock on the door or if I say no, do I remain silent while the US Constitution is being trampled? If a CinC declared martial law for no apparent reason, should the oath-taker sit idle? If the congress decided to pass a law confiscating firearms violating the Bill of Rights, would you comply? Is the answer to this question black or white or does it hold several shades of gray?

This country is already being run like a banana republic. Surely we need a coup to complete the picture.

I Do NOT NOT NOT support anything but adherence to the laws.

This poll data is garbage. Did you look at the sample and how it was conducted? Less than a 1000 respondents for a country of 320+ million, Poor sampling to time ratio, And questions left way too much for interpretation. Go back to the drawing board YouGov. you clearly missed the mark.

But an interesting topic none the less.

No. However, if a tyrant were to take over the government and all other avenues were exhausted, then I would welcome the military's help in overthrowing the tyrant.
