It's funny because it plays against the narrative of 'men are shallow only thinking about sex, violence and nothing else without women there' that the left try to force as a reason for diversity hires.
I at least think of Rome once a week as it's a good comparison:
•shitty modern architecture: thinking of Rome's still existing masterpieces
• shitty infrastructure: Roman's still functioning works
• Military going woke: Rome's regimented legions
It goes to show that despite us having the benefit of history hindsight and our technological advances, we really haven't got our shit together because if Rome existed now and could get our modern weapons, we'd all be speaking Latin as our primary language within a month. And most of it wouldn't be violent takeover as they'd just be better.
It destroyed the Republic. They were running out of citizens, so they started conscripting slaves and criminals, who came home as citizens and wanted land.

The Second Punic War was Rome's Vietnam.

I thought the German barbarians were Rome's Vietnam in that the trees spoke barbarian..
Germany was Rome's Afghanistan.
Rome won their Vietnam because of Scipio.
