Freedom Fighters. That they abused human rights is undeniable, of course, but so is the fact that the regime they were fighting was much worse. There would not be many (certainly not a majority of people) people arguing that mass rapes that took place when the Red Army drove back Nazi Germany makes the force and their struggle as a whole HPs, since the alternative was so much clearly even worse; this is a comparable, if smaller-scale, example.

I'm definitely going against a much more overwhelming forum consensus than I'm used to this time, at the least Tongue

Not insane. Just madly in love with Ronald Reagan.

Or at least Violeta Chamorro.
