Roman PMI

Plus
• The Romans had the best training, biggest Budget, and finest equipment that the world had ever seen in their time
• Military budget is larger than nine other countries put together
• Romans bequeathed a format on how imperial business should be handled, and today the Americans in the United States are implementing the same tactics without fail
• The Romans had great military strength; and the rest of the World undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Roman as well
• Romans embraced their status as masters of the the known world.

Minus
• United States did not form any type of formal colonies
• Both models of government and capitalism are based on the principles of progress through utilization of it’s work force with the lure of the good life as an individual’s goal
• The fall of the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight
• The United States was founded on rebellion against another empire, the British Empire, in the name of freedom and self government
•  Few Americans would claim bragging rights on their own imperialism

Interesting
