The rank and file guarded the Japanes concentration camps, fired on students and left their morals at the door while working with bacha bazi practitioners in Afghanistan. If they can tolerate institutionalized child rape what makes you think they won't tolerate some other bullshit?
How is it then that mostly working class troops have often sat in their barracks and not lifted a finger to save incompetent elites from an angry mob? I do think culture plays a part here, and American culture isn't quite as mindlessly socially obedient as Imperial Japan.
