A quote from "A Game of Thrones"
I think it could be justified if declaring your neutrality in a war was cause to be imprisoned, executed, or banished. Of-course I'm sure the mega-war mechanics would need to be tweaked a bit, but the above quote indicates that providing the troops your liege demands is pretty important. Even Barbrey Dustin provides at least the minimum since "We mustn't offend Winterfell".
AGOT Bran VI
And when Lord Umber, who was called the Greatjon by his men and stood as tall as Hodor and twice as wide, threatened to take his forces home if he was placed behind the Hornwoods or the Cerwyns in the order of march, Robb told him he was welcome to do so. "And when we are done with the Lannisters," he promised, scratching Grey Wind behind the ear, "we will march back north, root you out of your keep, and hang you for an oathbreaker."
