I wouldn't call that a training versus experience situation.  That's
more superior doctrine, tactics, and technology.  If your opponents
don't understand formation fighting all the experience in the world,
or all the training in the world, isn't going to save them.

Reminds me of a sci-fi book I recently read.  The Roman legions were
kicking butt because the were soldiers.  All their opponents were
warriors.
