But it works the other way, too. The soldiers might obey the current regime more faithfully (or at least more fearfully) if the government sits right behind their back and order them to murder people or be murdered themselves.
In any case, I seriously doubt any armed revolution would happen in Brazil anytime soon. It seems the nation has held popular presidential elections continuously since 1989. You can't persuade people to die on the street, when they can just wait four years and vote the man (or woman) out.
