Usually when wearing a uniform of some sort and belonging to some sort of recognised government. Sneaking around in civilian clothes kinda changes things....
You're not going to get very far with that definition.
Many irregular units fought the British in the Revolutionary War.
I do not think the French Resistance would take kindly to your definition.See my other response... Unless I missed where Britain declared War and invaded NI against the wishes of the majority of its people sometime.
Nor for that matter the flying columns of the old IRA that freed Ireland from British occupation by 1921.Possibly...
Nor does simply wearing a uniform make one acceptable. The Nazi SS comes to mind.Gosh... now theres a tangential piece of logic...
