I don't know, I think it depends on the ends they are aiming at.
Hitler's end justifies the means was the ultimate evil, but some people believe the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was the masterstroke that ended WWII.
It's nice to think that honorable people would fight while adhering to a code of honor, but if the difference between winning and losing comes down to whether or not you chose to give up and fight dirty, losing with honor might not be the best option.
Did you see the movie Serenity? It's like the scene where Malcolm says that trying to do the right thing was probably why the resistance lost the war.
