What if he wins again in 2024? Is the Pentagon just going to turn around to the US population and say "Wrong answer, try again"?

I hope the answer is no.

I hope so too, but let's posit some hypotheticals:

The 2024 election is won by either Trump or deSantis. Some populist type that the DNC hates rather than some tame lapdog who's content to take the "best loser" paycheck.
The outgoing Harris administration uncovers evidence of massive fraud in key swing states. It's conveniently left out of all of the reporting who was conducting the fraud, or for whom it was being conducted.
Gen. Mark Milley (or his replacement) announces that US military forces will remain under the command of President Harris until such time as the irregularities can be resolved, by new elections if necessary. It's necessary for the chain of command to be legitimate and to be seen to be legitimate, you see.

I can't point to any one of those and go "Nahh, never happen"

I can't consider that as impossible either.
