risking your life for your pay as a soldier is one thing, hell even a bit of abusing the locals can be passed off, if you at least do your job properly, but intentionally lying about the timing and scale of an imminent invasion, stealing the evacuation carts and supplies, AND leaving the town basically helpless to be slaughtered by said invading monsters is kinda bad, it would mean so much trouble for those soldiers if someone important found out what they did...
