Actually the British did not apply as much force as was necessary to subdue the colonial rebels and that is why they lost.
Half -assed farfare is never successful.

How much force do you believe would be needed to make Americans heel to that boot? My own gut is that in fact England learned the hard way that force does not work. How many colonies do they have left? Watch the movie Ghandi for another view of the problem. Read The Prince. Military might is never enough for what you suggest.
