Absolutely right. We called Allied soldiers in WWII "freedom fighters". Howver, do you really think that the Allies targeted strictly military targets? Absolutely not. The Allies found it necessary to wear down the spirit of Germany by bombing the shit out of them. Yet we know that these were freedom fighters. However, Germans also bombed London with the intent of killing civilians. Allies also dropped napalm bombs on civilians. This pretty much puts the two sides in perspective, they both do things horrible however they each think differently about it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Also I suggest anyone who is going to argue for the Brits on this topic go learn Irish history from the 1960s onwards and then come and talk to me.
