This might be very unpopular here, seeing as this is what I would consider a very pro-America forum (mainly because of the brand in itself), but low-tech beating a superior force isn't really something new in real life. Vietnam and Afghanistan are two prime examples, and as I've understood it, this was sort of James Cameron way of pointing out what happens when military get privatized e.g. PMC companies ala Blackwater. Of course its a mix mash of dances with wolves as well - a tad Stockholm syndrome, but I think you guys can see my point.

No offense meant by pointing out Vietnam and Afghanistan, but they are basically what inspired Cameron.
