Hitler modeled the Putsch after Mussolini's march on Rome, which had been "successful". He had reason to believe that it would work.

The Putsch included actual military figures like General Ludendorff.

Hitler tried to win over Kahr (Staatskommissar with dictatorial powers), Colonel Seisser and and General Lossow.

Kahr, however had his own plan with Seisser and Lossow to install a nationalist dictatorship without Hitler and refused.

I don't think these events are comparable, since fortunately all U.S. military figures condemned the capitol event.

That’s all fair, but I don’t regard incompetence as reason to doubt the intent.
