From what I understand, the military high command supported Yoon even after the assembly voted down martial law. If that’s true, didn’t he have everything to go through with the coup?

    The high command might have been on Yoon’s side, but the soldiers on the ground were not. The high command can’t do shit if no one will follow their orders.

    Soldiers were ordered to surround the Parliament and prevent a vote to end martial law. Yet the soldiers who were at the Parliament refused to fire upon or physically stop the politicians.
