Benedict Arnold had the good grace to flee to the British after getting caught trying to kill his own troops with a surprise British landing at West Point. Hell, Arnold actually was screwed over by the Continental Congress, and Washington really did try to do what he could to get him fucking paid.
This is more like George McClellan who behaved so incompetently that it's genuinely concerning that he may have actually intended to lose the Civil War. The fact that he then tried to run against Lincoln, makes you wonder just how likely it really was. Except, George McClellan didn't actually engage in a coup.
I'd say this is closer to "What if we swapped George McClellan and Smedly Butler, and McClellan agreed to impose a Fascist government and physically remove FDR?" Except this assumes that the Banker's Plot wasn't a false flag by FDR in the first place that Butler exposed.
Honestly, James Milley might be the worst American military commander of all time, and I am including the guy who surrendered Ft. Detroit in the War of 1812.
