American soldiers have to swear an oath to the US constitution. Thats what unifies them btw., no "governmental paradigm".
It is safe to assume that they will take their oath very serious, and not follow any *random* general. The same happened within the Wehrmacht, and that was the main reason Adolf wasnt arrested somewhen during 1943 or 44 and the army fought to unconditional surrender.
Your comparison to the roman army was just plain stupid. Obviously you have decided not to learn anything from the last time this was discussed and you were lectured. No wonder, since willful ignorance is your main character trait.
For any large group of people, no oath can be binding enough to resist persistent and ruthless appeal to vanity and self interest. The more discerning of the groups will be more careful to disguise their pursuit of self interest by claiming It be in the service of their oath, the less discerning won’t bother.
