I love your reference to "The Death of Stalin". Unfortunately for America, I doubt that there a general in the armed services with the competence and prestige of Georgi Zhukov to pull off a successful coup. Note Zhukov's critical role in getting rid of the most malign character in the Politburo after Stalin's death. If, as JHK suggests, America could see a military takeover, are any of its military leaders actually capable of such an action?
I highly doubt it. Obama got rid of anyone who might have been a threat. What you have now are careerists who only care about their careers and living la dolce vita.
The real problem in the military is Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It requires all in uniform to obey LAWFUL orders only. I went through boot camp in 1971, which was after the My Lai event, and we all understood clearly that we must disobey unlawful orders.
It's hard to say how many NCOs and junior officers still embrace that tenet, but no senior or general officer with the sense God gave an ordinary rubber duck can rely on troops blindly obeying any order. I think there would be widespread mutiny if anything nefarious were to be attempted.
I believe the US government mandated covid shots for all military personnel knowing that the toughest of the bunch would refuse, thereby eliminating them as a source of internal resistance should said nefarious actions take place.

Certainly, none at the top…

When in doubt, just think of Admiral Levine. Their presence negates our entire System and Way of Life. If
