But afte reading through the strange and twisted saga of military coups in Fiji, I can see you are quite right. The history of generals forcing their way into power is not a happy one, in Fiji or really anywhere. Chris,

I’ve not followed Fijian politics very closely, and in fact until I just did a quick google search I was not unconvinced you hadn’t invented some of those names or pulled them off of a Star Wars fan-fiction site.

But afte reading through the strange and twisted saga of military coups in Fiji, I can see you are quite right. The history of generals forcing their way into power is not a happy one, in Fiji or really anywhere.

And in particular the consequences for future generals once the civilian side gets a bit sick and tired of uppity generals intervening where they're not welcome?

I completely agree that Yue Fei's position as a charismatic general fueled a great deal of the hostility to him from Gaozong and Qin Gui. James Liu's article makes that quite clear. Excellent point. Wu Ming,
