I would rather salute the civilian man, he risk his life in the same way every day, only that he didnt choose to do it.

[Ack-Ack]

Those pro-Russian rebels don't deserve praise a  given to them by the OP.

If they were US they'd be labeled terrorists. They're insurgents on a sovereign country.

[Zimme83]

Terrorist or freedom fighter is just a matter of whitch side u are on, a 100% subjective title.

[wpeters]

I still respect a man for dying for what he believes in.

[Zimme83]

Even if he belives in the Islamic state?

[PR3D4TOR]

Terrorist or freedom fighter, they're all (insert appropriate derogatory word here). Rotten fish smelling ones.

[Zoney]

PR3D4TOR, in the late 1700's those are names the English would have called those who fought for and won in the "American Colonies" now referred to as the "United States", sir.

You are labeled a Terrorist if you lose.

You are called a Freedom Fighter if you win.

Nice language by the way.

[Swoop]

Yep, damn colonials should learn their place....er, oh sorry, wrong forum.

Yeah, but it takes a special kind of individual to be an insurgent/terrorist/freedom fighter.

Yes but instead of the name you called them, they may have gone by name's like, Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton...............

[Zimme83]

There are a lot of reasons, some do it for the kick, some for the ideology, some just dont have anything better to do. Most people prob do it because they are poor and the armed group provides them with some food etc. (and if u join them they likley wont kill u)

A majority of Americans in the revolutionary war created and used tactics that we would now call "terrorism." Long-range sniping of officers on the battlefield (in a time when officers were not usually targeted); asymmetrical hit and run attacks; burning of homes and businesses that supported the English government and, in some cases, execution of British government employees (such as tax collectors).

The important takeaway is that calling someone a terrorist is little more than propaganda; what matters most is to what end the tactics are used for, and that no innocents, civilians, or those unable/unwilling to fight are harmed.
