Actually I know a lot of veterans and you'd be surprised by how fiercely loyal most soldiers are. Though it is more so towards their immediate CO than a General or something. But still, the concept applies. Most soldiers, at least in the United States, are disciplined and loyal to their comrades.

That's mostly due to the fact the US army is a Volunteer army, I was more speaking to the armies of the era Edolas [i]seemed[/i] to be in, which was roughly mid-dark-ages/early enlightenment era. So at that time, armies were generally mercenarial, and thusly more loyal to money than people. But I get what you're saying. And I think you're still implying that, ultimately, to your average grunt it doesn't matter who the overarching General is (Other than the President, who's commander-in-chief)

I should've worded my previous post better, sorry if I offended anyone who read that.
