Rome day 7

I do agree that the United States is declining like Rome but I don't believe that it's failing because of the same reasons. Arther Ferrill talks bout how the fall of Rome was due to military collapse. Less and less people have been joining the military in recent years but our military is still the strongest in the world and has some of the most powerful weapons in the world, so even though the US military is not great in size compared to other countries It makes up for that in power. Finley Hooper makes the most valid point in my opinion that the fall of Rome was a process rather than a specific event. More and more people in the US have forgotten the struggle for the country to get where it is today and to get to the point where were at. That can do harm to the country because if you don't remember the past you are doomed to repeat it.
