19. that's just like Rome- mercenary status = citizenship

And of course, Roman mercenaries destroyed the fabric of Rome when they took over and replaced Roman civilization with their barbarian ways and personal aggrandisement. The public works went to shit, their military had no loyalty, and they kept getting raped by new waves of fresh barbarians. Mercenaries broke Rome, I wonder if they will break the US? I guess the only saving grace is the US doesn't need as many fighters now days as Rome did.
