For you speculative fiction fans out there, here is a first-person account of [The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012](http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/1992/dunlap.htm), written from the perspective of a military officer sentenced to death for speaking against the coup. In reality, the author is Lieutenant Colonel Charles J. Dunlap, Jr., USAF, and the peice was written in 1992 to voice concerns over the direction of the military. I wonder if he is just as concerned now, 11 years later.
