Bill: Military Reforms Act 2442
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hutorian Anarcho-Communist 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: September 2442
Description[?]:
| Our military is losing the strength we, as a people, rely on to protect ourselves from enemies. Do we think Spaam won't try another invasion? This outlook of 'if someone strikes you, you do not strike back' may hold true in schoolyards with bullies, but with natural and economic resources, does this sound likely on a global scale? |
