No.  There is nobody (including the author) rooting for the Draka.
They are portrayed as awful and evil.  However, sometimes evil wins.

Except that the timeline in the appendix to the first novel, _Marching
Through Georgia_, contained many events that I consider to be
extraordinarily unlikely* (even assuming that the unlikely previous
events happened).

*For values of "extremely unlikely" equal to a successful Operation
Sealion (Nazi Germany invasion of Great Britain in 1940).
