France came very close to a coup in the 1960s with the Algerian crisis. That event propelled De Gaulle back into power because he was the only politician with enough cred to tell the French military to stand down. Their army has intervened in their government before.
A bit to note here is that fully 10% of the French Army has been deployed on security duties -in France- for several years now due to the threat of Muslim terrorism. Could be their army is getting sick and tired of that role and that they don't like that it appears to be a never-ending mission. The tone of the letters strikes a sore note regarding Islamic radicals in France.
