We were savages to them. They had never seen anything like guerilla war fare.

Similar to what the Americans experienced from the Vietcong, or you could even make a comparison as to what happened in Iraq and Afganistan with suicide bombers and roadside bombs.

Eta: It's hard to fight something you have never fought before. And you are going to get bloodied learning your enemy's ways.
