Honestly save for WWII, they tend to have been this through most of history.

World War II was a failure of leadership, not of soldiering. They were outmaneuvered in the Ardennes because of shitty generals (Charles Huntziger in particular) who couldn't see the obvious threat. Once the French actually fought the Germans head to head and in the open, they did fairly well against them. By that time, however, it was a lost cause and thus all of the fighting they did was for naught.
