| Message | I would prefer it if it was our policy to treat POWs by our own laws, but this suggested law is considerably better than the status quo. |

| Message | POW's are enemies of the state and should be tortured for information and be set up for execution. The only reason they should be kept alive is whether their crimes against the country were non-existent and should if so be kept alive for future POW-exchange. |

| Message | We believe that POWs should be respected as how our enemies respect our POWs. We do believe in the Terran equivalent of the Geneva Convention. |

| Message | That can be argued, but thank you for your input. Does anyone in the opposition feel the same way as the PSP or AAP? Or, specifically, anyone who voted differently than in the Military Reform Act, why the change of heart? |
