| Message | All most soldiers cre about is whether or not they will be executed upon captured. If they will not be, they will surrender. Treating them well is a needless burden on our economy, spending vast amounts to pamper enemies of our nation, whereas if they are put to work for the State we will gain a vast source of cheap labor for the State, and this way those villains can atone through labor for their crime of lifting arms against our country. |

| Message | The Saiserists obviously do not understand my point, or indeed have never served in our nation's armed forces. A soldier from a free state, when given a choice to surrender and become a slave or to keep on fighting, will always keep on fighting. We are expecting to engage in combat action soon, so it is imperative that this bill is passed, to help save our soldiers! |
