Seems to be a trend in trench warfare. Happened in the British, German and I think French armies as well once it became clear WWI was not going to see any quick or decisive victories.
You basically end up with a situation where the civilian government sets up high expectations in order to rally public support for the war. Then when it becomes clear that the promised outcome cannot be achieved, the civilian government finds itself in a contradiction with the military command. This is what we're now seeing play out in Ukraine after the failure of the summer offensive.
