That is something you can take to the bank, They cannot afford to allow the violent footsoldiers that won them their victory run loose to perhaps create trouble for THEM, too, so those are the first to be lined up against the wall in the aftermath of a win, during the purge and consolidation phase.
It goes that way because they have no intention of delivering on their promises, and these folks have shown their willingness to kill and destroy based on those promises. When delivery is not forthcoming, it's a reasonable assumption they will start killing and destroying again, so that spooks the oligarchs, so the grunts from the trenches get dealt with and purged to prevent that backlash.
It always happens that way, always has and always will... and these zeroes are too dense for that to sink in, despite the numerous examples from history. Just dangle something shiny in front of them and away they go, unthinking and hell bent on conquest. Then comes the purge, and suddenly they are wondering what the hell just hit them, despite having been repeatedly warned way ahead of time.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
