Apparently, they've fixed on the notion that only 3% of the colonists actually took up arms to oppose the British, and they fancy themselves the heirs of those folks. I don't think we're going to be hearing any Nathan Hale level comments from any of them as they're apprehended, tried, convicted, and sentenced to long prison sentences. Especially when they characterize their arrests as "kidnapping."
