I have to disappoint you all. The Old Man of the Mountain was not in fact a freedom fighter for Estonia.

That is disappointing :(.

(Great write-up, though.)

Er, while I can't say much about the rest, the kaitseliit is not just "a generic name for the Estonian military". It was, and still is, a paramilitary defense league.

The Estonian Defence League (Estonian: Eesti Kaitseliit) is the name of the unified paramilitary armed forces of the Republic of Estonia. The Defence League is a paramilitary defence organization whose aim is to guarantee the preservation of the independence and sovereignty of the state, the integrity of its land area and its constitutional order.

The misspelling of the words seriously made me think they were confusing Estonia with some other country, though.

Sources: I don't know how to provide proper sources for made up words and things that don't exist.

Give a source that deals with the period of time in Estonia's history that would show that these organizations didn't exist?

Yeah I skipped over that bit. So, for the pedants In us all: kaitsevägi is the mandatory conscription. Kaitseliit is when you put your money where your mouth is. A good friend of mine is a sharpshooter. It was the best despite not being clear what was the institution that owned the bullets.
