Well, soldiers...enlisted...take an oath to obey, period. Officers take a different oath, they can exercise judgment.
Soldiers did go around and steal guns....in fact, a unit of the guard refused and got big "pats on the backs" from pro-gunners.
Why the fuck do you currently see solders running around in your community in fatigues? Vs. dress uniforms?
McFly, wake up. When SHTF you best be shooting at all in uniform. They're in uniform for a reason.

Obviously meant nothing to stop stealing guns from citizens...so their theory and then there is reality.

They do, but when rubber meets the road most will go with who's paying them vs who's shooting at them.

No. Soldiers do not take an oath to obey. Go learn something
