It might benefit the readership to do brief pieces on the great Republics and how they failed (from not protecting their borders and culture).

Eventually, as I said, the Romans grown fat, corrupt, and overweening, began to founder in the face of the onslaught of the barbarian hordes, panicked, and hastened their doom partly by hiring foreign legions who had not sworn due alegiance.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for going long there.

This morning, I heard something about an idea brewing in the Pentagon centered around the idea of granting full citizenship to illegal aliens (and their families perchance) if they were to be so kind as to sign up for 2 years of military servitude to the United States. <BR/><BR/>I believe this is the answer to the question: "What is the fastest way to grow Al-Q cells within your own military?"
