Bill: Military reforms
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Dundorf
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: July 2523
Description[?]:
| To increase the effectiveness of the Bundeswehr to defend the nation against both internal and external threats. Article 1: The nationalization of all defense industries is to ensure that all weapons produced are up to standard, and that weapons are not sold illegally to other nations. Article 2: A compulsary term of after school military service is to ensure that, when called to war, the people will already have sufficient training to fight the enemy in the military or independently if necessary. Article 3: This is obviously because we have not ratified any sort of treaty on the treatment of POWs. The current law is therefore null and void. It would be better if we treat POWs according to our own standards, rather than treating them to so-called 'international standards' that haven't been properly defined yet. |
