Comment

Actually, i was expecting a good historical example.

Look what happened with the Roman Empire. Originally they used their own legions to defend their northern frontier at the Rhine. But eventually they started outsourcing it to the local Barbarians.

A hundred years later, the same barbarians rose up, and overran Rome, and destroyed the empire.

Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.
