When higher-ups deliver them news from the battlefront (assuming they do it at all), they probably don't mention slaughtered civilians and razed to the ground cities, more like something about making another step on the way to Eden etc. I'd imagine that for the most part they have attitude similar to Dean, who is bitter about Earthers living happily while he and the rest of the vagans have to suffer, but doesn't go around saying how badly he wants to see them punished and suffering, instead concentrating on his belief that someday Ezelcant will lead vagans to Eden.

You are forgetting that Vegans have been brainwashed at the notion they are the superior race and Earthers are subhumans. That is from the mouths of the arrogant pricks of Vegan.
A normal Vegan would have tons of insecurity issues as shown with Deen. Deen believed the people of Earth are laughing at their poor state all this time.
WTF Earthers and colonists around them don't know you even exist much less the condition of your colonies. (Which Ezelcant admitted to be sabotaging for his Social Darwinist dream)
Breeding jealousy, envy and a sense of entitlement Vegan society produced soldiers that wont give mercy to either Earther military and civilian alike.
Killing civilians in their point of view would be evicting squatters from their property.
Plus you also got to understand the Determination factor.
As Fram pointed out a lot of them has been sacrificed to stop now. She didn't mention they've done so much atrocities to stop now because if they lose from their perspective the Earthers would do to them what they've been doing for the past 70 years. Surrender is not an option at this critical stage.
