So you disagree?
Did you read the thing?
If you had, you would know that part of the contract is agreement to obey the orders of the President of the United States (and the governor of xxx state if you are a reservist) as well as the orders of those officers appointed over the signee.
There is indeed a contract and it is very specific. So yes, I disagree that there is social contract between the citizen and the soldier. I wish there were...maybe veterans would have a better deal once they got out.
The 'contract' between the POTUS and US citizens is a whole different subject.
