    There's also been a military coup in the US ages ago, though most people don't seem to have noticed!

        • The coup was a miserable failure, or was it? Who really led it, the military or the president? Everything seemed to fail [i]too[/i] horribly. Only CNN was taken. The president was on vacation and transferred to a secure location, there was no chance of him being captured. The military told people to stay inside, while the government advocated protesting on the street and celebrating at the Istanbul airport. A serious coup would have supporters helping them in the streets. The military even shot civilians preventing aircraft from taking off, the same aircraft that the government assured the coup didn't have control of. None of the leaders of the military supported the coup, and no one claimed leadership during the entire ordeal. Special forces weren't even involved, the full military wasn't even involved. Now Erdoğan looks like the hero. He stopped the "treasonous" rebellion threatening the people of Turkey. Maybe this is just how he planned to keep enough public support to maintain power. His supporters are more empowered than ever, and opponents see that a coup won't work. Uninformed military soldiers think that they can't win if they try again. Now the Sultan is safe in his cushy home, Istanbul.

          • It's hilarious on the news seeing tanks driving on the motorway during rush hour.
