They are fighting defensively, from prepared positions.

They are on their home turf, defending their country. Our warfighters will in no way be enthusiastic about setting foot there. How much self-sabotage and malingering will there be?

We're used to fighting in deserts, not subtropical climes.

Kegseth seems to be utterly clueless when it comes to logistics. Watch our troops quickly run out of food and ammo. Hell, I'm willing to bet that the appropriate medical supplies for the region aren't pre-staged.

Plus, the most important word of all: Insurgency.
