No, it wouldn't. In the few times the WoL is given a voice and shows emotion, there is no indication of hatred for the Garlean Empire. They are an aggressor to Eorzea, and we fight them in that context. If they were to abandon their conquest, we'd stop fighting them. Our greater concern is the Asciancs.

I can understand the disconnect people have that the WoL, despite killing quite a lot of people, is still trusted by strangers and given a considerable amount of trust. I honestly don’t feel like continuing the msq, or at least not gung ho anymore to resume playing this sort of character.
There is not disconnect. None. The problem is with and your overly simplistic morality and naive idealism that killing people is always murder and is always bad. The WoL is not a "murderhobo". We don't go around Eorzea, Doma, or Ala Mhigo rampantly slaughtering people for no reason other than our own sadistic intentions. (That's Zenos). We have a mission, which is to stop the Ascians. In that regard, we've defeated the primals multiple times, been fundamental in freeing both Doma and Ala Mhigo, ended the war between the Dravians and Ishgard, rescued and freed countless people, and effectively stopped the Garlean invasion. The strangers trust us because we keep proving to them time and time again that we are worthy of their trust because the story is written such that everything we do, we have done in the service of Eorzea for the benefit of her people. We are constantly putting our live and sanity on the line for these people. This whole thing is like a bad CW drama in which the protagonist refuses to do what needs to be done. There are times that the only answer is to kill someone, or be killed. That is NOT murder.
