Bullshit

American soldiers have to swear an oath to the US constitution. Thats what unifies them btw., no "governmental paradigm". Hehe
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.

If the French and British had reacted when Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland there would have been an attempt to unseat Hitler.

Not by the army. They loved him until after Kursk, and all it cost Hitler was Röhm, a man he was going to liquidate anyway.

Their love for hitler peaked around August of 1941.  They didn’t love him much after Winter 1941 and much less still after Stalingrad.   But just as the republicans who didn’t love trump much, but would prefer the dictatorship of trump to some democracy that involves, gasp, democrats, on the whole the German army preferred hitler to some vague But terrifying notion of Germany Not being led by the nose by a strongman that can bluster like Hitler, and they More often than not thought it thought it pretty cool to do away with all those pesky slavs for the greater germany, until it became very clear the there could be very little left for the German military class after the war unless the trajectory germany is taking under hitler is halted.

For those who thinks America is one nation under god, remember almost half of this nation would Rather betray it to the Russians than face the possibility that your vote may really count.

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.

And..

In the interest of fairness - list the last president that was questioned by the press if he would leave office if he lost the election......


I can't recall any.


It seems just a bit too insulting to be asked....
