By oath the military is required to act at the order of it's CIC against enemies foreign and domestic. Nowhere in the constitution are they given the power to determine exactly who that is on their own, and that's a necessary and good thing, unless you think military coups are generally a positive.

As usual you are mistaken.

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

They are sworn to defend the constitution and obey all lawful orders, and yes they are accountable. Though it's interesting that you are arguing that we are already living under a tacit despotism.
I'm beginning to be persuaded that it is now safe to ignore your opinion.
