RE WHEN ARMIES DECIDE also a nyt editorial

You suspect that you are heading toward a police state when you see such greater economic deference to military and police forces than to the other public employees, or to employees or to citizens in general.


'Winsor' said, on David Kaiser's blog:


'....Interestingly, the fire and police were not threatened 


with the so-called 'loss-of-workers rights'...am presuming 


the 


Republicans didn't want to bite off more than they could 


chew at the moment.'


The late Roman Empire in the West was there mainly to 


keep the legions on board.


I recommend viewers view:




Garrett Fagan, The History Of Ancient Rome, The 


Teaching Company, eg lecture 46, 


'....The late Roman Empire...entirely at the service of 


the army as the guarantor of its existence....'
