You’re either insane, or drunk, or somewhat underinformed about the Roman republic.

AND when I said ‘be like Rome’ my only point was get more pols with a proper military background, and I want President Petreus in 2016. I don’t mean some trustafarian who’s powerful family got them to serve the Viet Nam War doing something plushy, I mean career military guys retiring from active service to serve in politics.

Really, nothing else about ancient Rome is that much of a good example for us anymore, just the pols having skin in the game part.
