Just dawned on me - along with no 'good' guys there are no incompetent
armies.  Some less skilled, some logistically challenged,  some
ideologically or doctrinally challenged but no true incompetent armies. 
Indeed some are better trained or equipped then others but even the
marginal ones have a minimal competence.
