Fighting without it being fair for both sides and winning not being due to military tactics is just not British what what.

Overwhelming firepower is a bit gauche don't you know. Those Yankees just don't understand.

Also, real talk, that's also why the US loses so often.

Well, you see, George, I did like it, back in the old days when the prerequisite of a British campaign was that the enemy should under no circumstances carry guns -- even spears made us think twice. The kind of people we liked to fight were two feet tall and armed with dry grass.
