| Message | "How does it hurt our country to respect religious beliefs to the extent of allowing persons to opt into perhaps working a desk job preparing maps or technology for the military? We already need people to do other jobs than simply being soldiers, the old law ensures that we keep it that way. What good are soldiers without maps, weapons, or and other support technologies?" --Slaughter Droid 923753462454 |
