they may not have thought that out.
A bunch of angry,burnt out, humiliated, poorly trained troops at odds with society? Doesn't sound good. History tells us pent up or abandoned troops go wrong.
My thoughts:
1) they hold them in reserve awhile. That doesn't go well.
2) the troops resort to crime, pursuing sude agendas, etc. Discipline issues increase.
3) troops factonalize, turn on each other. Organization fragments, vulnerable to psy-ops.
4) late attempt to shuffle them around. Increased disorder and violence
They stay stupid and violent but at whom?
