A very true statement. I would also like to point out that fighting a war on your own soil, to defend your country from a foreign country adds a degree of desperation. While the foreigner's are there to invade, many may not wish to be there. Some may not even agree with the war effort. Still others may agree with the war, but without any strong conviction. When faced with an opponent willing to fight tooth and nail, these type of soldiers will break, and along with them goes the morale of the troop.
