The term is derived from the term "Moderate Terrorists"
A moderate rebel is a insurgent that is not classifed as a terrorist because they are not against the US and its allies.
They use the same tactics, the same weapons and the same reasons. They help make shooting people a mess of paperwork for the soldiers involved.
Moderate Rebel: Today we go martyr brothers for allah!
Obama: Oh my god, a terrorist!
Moderate Rebels: Lets go bomb Bashar!
Obama: Oh, that's ok then. *Gives guns*
