Such foolishness is typical of those who believe in the "righteousness" of their cause but lack either the discipline or the wherewithal to defend it. In other words, the Leitani both bit off more than they could chew and believed in their own invincibility, based on nothing. Student rebellions (like that in "Les Misérables") are often like that—more zeal and righteous indignation than wisdom and ability.
Foolish of the Leitani to be so blasé about the approaching Margonni Army!
