Would the military really be telling the soldiers what the true situation back home is? Would much information about the capabilities, or even legitimacy of Civgov be available? It seems unlikely.
We know information from home is scarce already - Red Star, Lone Star shows us that the characters don't even know Texas is no longer part of the USA, and Soviets on US soil is disregarded as just one of the wilder rumours. Therefore a civilian run alternate government may seem to most like just another fantasy - at least until they're back in the US for a while and can see for themselves.
