I am not offended by the description. Our founding fathers declared independence, formed a militia and conducted military operations to achieve a goal. I’m sure England saw them as insurgents or even terrorists. Acting against troops of the crown, I don’t see it that way. I believe they pretty much conducted themselves with honor. They weren’t out blowing up population centers to cause terror. (I’m not implying you were making that case BTW)
Maybe they're waiting until the NYT and LAT go de-listed.
