We've had 2 military coups in Brazil that immediately implemented a constitutional government and called elections. (One was against an autocratic constitutional monarchy... go figure... but it was on the direction of more democracy so it counts.)
In a total of 5 military coups if I'm not forgetting any...
I have a theory, that the military are only interested enough on democracy after they come back from fighting against some dictatorship. Otherwise they are bad news.
