Demobilising and downsizing the military after the hundred year war led
to a rise in banditary, extortion and brigandage.
Also you probably can't demob the war veterans and turn them into local
law enforcement or back into the farmers and factory workers they were
before the war started.
What happens if you send your warmachines into the wilderness (including
both war droids and organic troopers) and they take over the area and
render it uninhabitable.
War machines could be self repairing and if using a long life power
supply could continue to fight for a very long time.

While not genetically engineered this is the approach taken with at
least some components of the Napoleonic troops who were resettled in
areas such as Tasmania (got the problem "away" from home turf and gave
you combatants in the conflict with the indigenous population).
