You do that, makes no difference to me. Others cannot control your wrong opinions as you've demonstrated many times.

Opinion is subjective, yours is just as subjective as is mine, in fact it is more subjective given that you are friends with Zach.
I don't mind the guy and agree with him on occasion, in particular where some aspects of 40k are concerned, that does not mean that he doesn't have an agenda of his own that you are not ware of.

If there were many, it would be impossible to hide due to soldiers missing from units.
We know for a fact that certain very untrustworthy and malicious people were trying to make a hoopla of embassy guards and the like to cause political unrest about "boots on the ground", and as such, i distrust these people even more than the establishment elites and i actively refuse to care about their concerns.

This is also true.
But depends on forces bow easy it is to hide movement

Many Emperors being batshit insane, corrupt, and useless didn't help things either (nor when legions had more loyalty to their generals than the actual Emperor), and the few that were truly good/great? They were pebbles trying to stop an avalanche.

Who was that nutcase who murdered his wife, grieved, found a teenager that looked like her in facial structure one day on the street, castrated him, forced him to act like a woman, and then 'married' him as a replacement wife?

And then there's Nero, who basically set Rome ablaze so he could sing/put on a performance with the flames and screams being his ideal background.

Yeaah.

The incompetent and decadent emperors were a symptom, not a cause.

Economics, loss of what would be called civic virtue, oligarchy and overstretch were the primary culprits.

That and 'cultural enrichment/diversity is our strength'.

That was Nero. He literally did both of those things. As well as blame Christian’s for the fire.

Army vet, 94, kicked out of NYC nursing home to make room for migrants
Geez, I wonder if stories like this one make people less likely to enlist?

 

[Zachowon]

Its a democratic stronghold.
It has nothing to do with them beinf a vet.
He'll, you get a lot of people who join to leave states like NY and Cali

It is indicative, that those in power put the invader before the natives, even before veterans.

And would people be more or less inclined to enlist with such news?

when their done with you they will throw you in the garbage just like they did to those before you.

Yes, that is step 2.

Also Zach shows a rather mercenary attitude.
Methinks he would be happier as an Italian condottieri than an Italian centurion.
To probably misquote Machiavelli, Good men can always get you gold, but gold can not always get you good men.

Machiavelli spent entire chapters telling potential rulers why mercs were a bad idea.

 

[Scottty]

Well, I think arguments about a career in the military meaning they pay for your education/etc sound good in peacetime.

Wasn't "The Prince" something of a "Hard Men Making Hard Decisions While Hard" parody of the popular "heir help book" genre? Bunch of stuff he found actively detestable and more than a few things that were easily observed as dysfunctional even then? Because he was a rather intense republic-favoritist.

From what i remember he did prefer republics but the prince was a serious how to guide for a prince.

the advice of don't steal your peoples stuff and don't fuck with their families remains pretty solid advice.
