| Message | Against. We are against forcing young Rutanians into the some sort of national service. We feel that this would be detremental to the youth of Rutania and any aspects gained by this legislation do not outweigh the negatives of such forced service. |

| Message | Against, we can see the advantage of mandatory civilian service. But mandatory military service is just a waste of money. |

| Message | SDP- There's a choice. Quite frankly, we would have thought the left wing parties would be all over this like white on rice, considering this would allow some massive public works projects to be built. Anyway, to voting for grandstanding :D |

| Message | The chances that a left wing party would support anything a right wing party proposed regardless of its merit is < 0. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |

This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect |
