Bill: Repealing Mandatory Military Service
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2436
Description[?]:
| An army of slaves will never fight well. Conscripts are rebellious, they have poor morale, they are rarely willing to die for their country, or their comrades, they don't get on well with other troops, especially those that volunteered. Conscription is slavery, and should not be tolerated in our modern, progressive nation. An army of slaves can never protect our nation. |
