| Message | (1) This is Good (2) ADAMANTLY opposed; the private sector is much more efficent than Gov't. We're the Commonwealth of Rutania and NOT the Soviet Union. (3) ADAMANTLY opposed; We should not be a "police state." Let the the Civilians (the People) police their own communities and the miliary come in if NEEDED. The job of the military is to "Fight and win war, and therefore prevent it from happening." We need to direct our miliary sources to Foreign engagements. (4) ADAMANTLY opposed to a draft that FORCES individual citizens to serve against their will. We would be willing to support a draft of PRISONERS who are currently serving life imprisonment, though. We strongly support robust increases in the Military budget and we should offer FINANCIAL incentives to Rutanians to serve in the miliary like college education. |
