There Once was a War...

A war that the French were vehemently against.

A war that brought a highly trained Army quickly invaded and occupied the country only to fight a long protracted counter insurgency campaign.

Where after several years the Soldiers were demoralized, and the Generals were switched in order to get better results.

Where the conquerers hired Mercenaries who were hated by the locals,

I am ofcourse speaking of the American Revolution.
