| Message | This is essentially a draft (which the CP supports in times of HARSH war). |

| Message | Conscription is slavery. People who are forced to serve make bad soldiers. Look at all those drafted during Vietnam who didn't want to be there. A bad, bad idea. Fiscally irresponsible and contradictory to freedom and the necessity for a properly functioning national military. No, no and no! |

| Message | Look a WWII and Vietnam. Both wars had people drafted in them. Then look at the amount of support the USA had for the war. It wasn't being drafted. It was knowing that they had little to no support back home. |

| Message | People need discipline; this will ensure a society which has experienced tyranny and removal of identity, so that they will treasure them and in true force, oppose those who would encroach upon their rights. |
| Date | 03:22:19, May 04, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Military Improvment Act |
| Message | It is NOT the government's job to discipline individuals who have not committed crimes. It is NOT the government's job to force anyone to serve in the military. This will NOT teach individuals to treasure our nation but instead teach them to fear and resent it. The MLP cannot believe how blindly this bill is being followed by the various parties! I don't want soldiers who are forced into serve, who resent the government for forcing them to do something they don't want to do like a punishment for no crime committed, "defending" me! Think about it. |
