Do you want to know a major reason why the Roman empire fell?

Because the Roman Legion lost it’s technological edge.

Gone were the days of the plate armored legion and they became alsmost indistinguishable from the barbarians.

Second the barbarian technology improved, like calvary technology.

What happens when Asymmetrical Warfare turns back into Symmetrical Warfare?

Recruiting Germans and other non-Romans didn’t help, either.

Romans didn’t have M16’s or F16’s ... and tanks. BTW, there was a site that had letters from Roman soldiers stationed in Scotland and Germany that sounded just like they were written today ... things never change ...

I pray for the day. We'll absolutely dominate, especially in the desert.
