Dear Chinton, Thank you for your note. The point I was trying to make was that the Roman Army had a large component of "mercenaries" in it toward the end of the Empire. Patriotism was not a factor or a motivator to fight. I served in the Marines in Vietnam as an Infantry Platoon Commander, so I understand the point you are making. My unit included people from Cuba, Guam, Samoa, Canada and Scotland besides the lower 48 States. Also please apologize to any sloths you know that may have been offended by my last post. Best Regards,
