additionally a military junta's biggest internal threat is a strong military who can overthrow them. Security for the Junta requires keeping a strong loyal military security force(republican guard, president guard etc) and a weak, poorly commanded rest of the army. this bodes poorly for doing all the things a military is actually supposed to do.

On top of that, I have yet to see a Military Junta that can maintain it's sovereignty AND initiate a period of relative economic prosperity for any meaningful amount of time. The only exception that comes to mind is Myanmar, but they've gone through 3 or 4 junta's since it's independence, I'm pretty sure. It's almost like an army isn't meant to govern a state...
