IMHO, I would not focus so much on the lack of a uniform. Many of the colonists did not have uniforms when they fought the British...

That issue is addressed:

"I would point out to Mr. Moore that when confronted by an overwhelming enemy force, our Minutemen grabbed their guns, put their elderly, their women and their children behind them, and went out to face their adversary as far away from the weak and vulnerable as possible."

They may not have had uniforms, but they still went out of their way to protect non-combatants.

He made a pretty big deal of it...but I agree, and stated as much in my response, that the main issue is who they attack, how they attack, and why they attack.
