Yes they are fighting back, fighting back against the Pakistani Army. I’m not saying they are justified, but they are certainly fighting back. I am just not understanding how the completely descriptive use of that phrase somehow implies who is right and who is wrong.

Let’s say I have some reason to punch you in the face, so I do so. Then you get up and punch me in my face. I would say you are “fighting back.” Doesn’t mean you are right, doesn’t mean you are wrong. You’ve simply counter-attacked me. The phrase doesn’t imply justification either way.

WOW.
