Message | Article 1 is a negation of women's emancipacion... Although, womens should not be affected on severe fighting units except if volunteers... About article 3, Only a professional army is able to defend us. Once again, volunteership should be used for reservists. Draft ain't no solution ! |

Message | No PD, the aim of article 3 is to instill a sense of discipline and servitude in the young citizens of the country, by either serving in the army or by doing national service; it should be an honour for each and every citizen that the country calls upon him to help the nation. About article 1, we believe that women should serve in the army but in rearguard positions. The fighting should be left up to men. Men are always going to be more suited to battle as defined by nature, man being stronger physically in general than a woman. PNG P.S. Yes, always vote on every bill as I've learned in my short period in the game and you'll be rewarded! |

Message | I might agree with the idea of a civilian service... but not with the military term ! |
