Please correct me if I'm wrong, but we were taught both initially and throughout my military career this this would be verboten.
Specifically, the "experts" say:
What if, commensurate with §'s 331, 332, and 333, it's not an "insurrection" but a restoration much the same as the Battle of Athens, sometimes called the McMinn County War. It was a restoration of Constitutional, state, and local law led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local and corrupt government in August 1946. The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of predatory policing, police brutality, political corruption and voter intimidation.
I know very few individuals who would ever participate in an insurrection against a lawfully-elected government. I know many, however, who would respond appropriately to stop the unlawful actions of a wayward government i.e. one that was no longer acting in the lawful capacity to which they were elected.
Comments, please.
