But my point was more about the strength of volunteerism, showing a strong sympathy with the army and a desire to help it. That is, there was strong popular support for the army - an army, I might note, which has no conscription. People are in the army because they want to be, even if it's only for pay.There have been revolutions in the past where a government with a strong army nevertheless fell because the army didn't want to start shooting people. If enough of the army is sympathetic to the revolutionaries' aims, it could end up being effectively paralysed.
By contrast, AFAICT the main revolutions of OTL which succeeded in the way you describe were against conscript armies.
