| Message | I think its already assumed we have an air force |
| Date | 19:32:52, July 31, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | But this establishes an air force that is completely modern and is separate from the other branches of the military, like the navy and army. OOC: Think of how the US Air Force was. It was originally the Army Air Corps, and then it became its own separate entity. Its kind of like that. |

| Message | OOC: Well i know we did have a sperate air force but I don't think we've had any need to bring up military structure since the communist period. Then it was called the People's Air Arm of Gishoto or something. |
| Date | 04:31:58, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | OOC: I think it is time that we bring the readiness of our military into question. This bill will ensure that we have a ready and effective Air Force. I want us to have the biggest, most powerful, and most advanced Air Force in the world. |

| Message | We have one of the largest standing navies in the world just because of the fact that we are historically linked with Luthori and the facts that we some of the largest dry docks on the planet because of our shipping industry and the fact that we have the majority of the major ports of the settled Dovani Coast. We have a standing Air Force that is fully able to deal with any trouble that maybe stirred up with Kazulia, not to mention a nearly continuious missile defence system, and hordes of intelligence and counter intelligence agencies. Besides the Defence Budget is still under funded, so we suggest if you really want to pass this bill you add an amendment to it to increase the Defence Budget, because we will vote against any bill that would increase the Air Force at the cost of our proud Navy. |
| Date | 18:03:43, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | Then we shall increase the defense budget. |
| Date | 18:07:29, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | OOC: We have used the 10 billion dollar surplus and added it to the defense budget, allowing us to increase funding to the air force and all other branches of the military. |
| Date | 17:53:59, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Sectual Congress | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | There are better things to spend this money on, like helping the poor and such. |
| Date | 19:49:34, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | We already spend large amounts on welfare and education, but the time has come when we need to show our true power. |
| Date | 17:00:26, August 03, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Royal Air Force Act 2437 |
| Message | The military gets enough money. Let put it a stand and spend our money on welfare |
