Not to derail the thread, but you're 100% correct.
Further to this, I find the Ukrainian insurgency to be extremely heroic, as do the majority of the posters on this board. I will say, however, that when Iraqis were doing the exact same thing back in 2002, they were labelled as terrorists.
White dudes picking up weapons and fighting off an invader = hero.
Arab dudes picking up weapons and fighting off an invader = terrorist.
