Hello!? It's just a metaphor.
Yeah...actually, that's exactly who that metaphor was speaking to. Slaves, being bought and sold and bred for sale. There were alot of anxious poor people and slaves in rome, and that was pauls target market. An underserviced demographic, instrumental to the fall of the roman administrative state and the rise of a slaveholding christian theocracy.
We did the same thing with transatlantic transportation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
