Then were did America fight its first jungle war at?

In 1814 we took a little trip, along with General Jackson, down the mighty Mississip,
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans and we met the bloody British near the town of New Orleans. ;^)

Although Louisiana has always been a Banana Republic, New Orleans only became a jungle in the late 20th Century.

Ever been to the South Carolina Low Country?

I'd say the Swamp Fox could have been called a jungle fighter, if the term had been in use.
