    How does history support you on that?

    Absent environmental factors, the difference between victory and defeat can always be traced to quantifiable differences in morale
    , training, planning (tactical & strategic), equipment, and/or technology.

    In fact, nations that have relied on that special, intangible 'something' to compensate for other deficiencies have suffered. The Japanese military during the Second World War is a good example.
