Pay no attention to the last 200 years. Tattoos are completely incompatable with the military.
Pay no attention to the collapse of Rome. Illegal aliens in the military is a wonderful idea.

"Pay no attention to the collapse of Rome."

That might be better said without irony. Granted, we shouldn't look at the physical collapse of any cruel, idolatrous empire with our eyes and jump for joy at the demise of its supporters, although it's very difficult to avoid doing so. Very difficult indeed. Several empires like that have fallen for good reasons.
