You forget that it is the enemy who resorts to propaganda, the Allies have "sources of information" to remember a famous line from WWII.
Considering the "TraLaLaLa Land" that some of my fellow citizens dwell in, I do find it reasonable to believe that a percentage of the population will protest the war, actively support the Soviet position and may actually make an effort to sabotage the war effort. It happened in World War Two, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, the various peacekeeping missions in the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and there rumblings on the internet about Libya. Now why on earth would those people change their stripes?
And yes I am including those who live in the People's Republic of California! Don't forget that a certain city located near a certain bay has taken out city ordnances protesting the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention banning pet stores as well as the sale of certain fast food items in their foggy city....a rather infamous university there is noted as a hot bed of extremism, there is a running joke that the frequent earthquakes that rattle the area may also be causing severe brain trauma!
Besides, their outlook is another great tool for a GM. Just picture the player's party running a recon mission against the invading Mexican Army stumbling over a line of Berkley students protesting the US policy against illegals!
