I would think that it depends on where the malcontent is. As a buck Private, probably wouldn't matter. OTOH, if the big guy on top decides to switch, he has the power and the intelligence to make it happen. When the war starts going badly, it will make people wonder if they are on the right side and whether they will lose and what will happen. At that point, it might be a good thing to switch sides.
