I was referring to the fact that the social bonds that held the society together were ripped apart, basic morals regarding sex, religion, etc. were thrown out, the state was relied on more and more, etc.
It is also disturbing that the Romans had attackers knocking on the door, kind of like we have terrorists trying to bring about the downfall of this nation. Politicians became increasingly corrupt and the military was used to occupy the nation multiple times.
It is only a matter of time before posse comitatus is thrown out the window.
