The faster the rebelion is extinguished, the more time the legion has to recover. Honestly the worst thing one can do in the Civil War questline is not support the Imperials, or even, for that matter, the Stormcloaks, but the worst thing they can do is to support noone, thus letting the war drag out, and weaken both the Empire, and Skyrim's own personal deffenses.

Greater good? Right, the legion has had 25 years to recover. At the end of the war they had around 10 legions at half strength, by that logic even if they didn't lose any people they'd have 5 full legions now...but instead they have three legions and whatever they can spare was sent to Skyrim. It's obvious that the empire's lost the trust of the people since after 25 years they're weaker than what they were at the end of the great war. The empire's shown time and time again that they're willing to sell out the lives of their citizens, allowing if not outright helping the thalmor torment innocent people.

Meanwhile every nation that's split from the empire's doing very well comparatively. Hammerfell's forced the thalmor out of their land and celebrating in victory. Morrowind's on the mend, and Black Marsh is as usual uneffected.

It's been proven that nations recover faster without the empire draining their resources. It's time to starve out the parasite and truly start to gain ground.
