| Message | The police should be free and we agree with that, but military service is important as it helps create a sense of displine and duty to the population as well as helps train a reserve force if our nation is forced to go to war |
| Date | 07:36:24, November 09, 2007 CET | From | Computational Intellect Project | To | Debating the Individual Freedom Bill |
| Message | We agree with this bill. We would prefer the people have a choice between civilian and military national service, but having an all-volunteer military sounds just fine as well; better than forcing everyone to go specifically into the military. |
