While Rome was aggressive, for most of its history Rome had a professional army -- often composed primarily of foreign mercenaries. In contrast, Socrates wished to be remembered as a hoplite first and a philosopher second.

Spartacus Wellington Fairborne, III. "America as Rome finds it gauling"? Funny. Also funny, the two larger examples of Rome and Greece: Empire-failure borne of arrogance and overreach, decadence and softness. Ouch, great choices for Columbia. Don't know much about Rollins besides the music, but we have a glancing familiarity with the military around here and yep, about the same ratios (high) of nutjobs and nincompoops as in other walks of life, except the environment winds them a tad tighter. Now, if we want to get to the nub of things, perhaps the politicos and think tankers who move those warriors around the board dreaming of Vandal hordes, well, I give you Sidney Lumet's complement to Strangelove.... [They are] <i>not normal people . . . they don't reason the way you reason, they're not motivated by human emotions such as rage and pity . . . they are calculating machines, they will look at the balance sheet, and they will see that they cannot win.</i> -- Professor Groeteschele, on winnable nuclear war, Fail-Safe. 1964 I’m Spartacus.
