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

Dont forget the Finns beating the Soviets during WWII... it can be done.
Altough the Polish vs. German in the same conflict ended up in a disaster for the Polish...
But anyway, like Sonneilon pointed out... using ones environment is a crucial factor when fighting battles like that... Vietnamise did it too (jungle) and Finns (cold winter).
Also what Sonneilon pointed out about fighting a war in your own soil. It kinda tends to motivate those whos homes are atacked to try harder now doesnt it.
