Everytime we see them in battle they always end up getting their asses whooped. Whether its Aang, Zuko, Iroh, etc. I mean Iroh was able to take out 20 royal firebenders. I know he General Iroh, but I would except the Royal firebenders to be able to overwhelm him. Iroh was able to throw them overboard without much effort.

Damn, what do these people call that thing, uh "the Storm Trooped Effect" or something? I think that about sums it up, or whatever.

LOL! Forgot about that! That is a very good point. The stormtrooper effect also implies to the Rough Rhinos, who suck really bad.
