| Message | Would you support having them in segregated front line units? I really so no need to reduce the efficiency of our forces by having mixed front line units. |

| Message | The LUP vividly enforces the "Women serve alongside men" legislation. |

| Message | Why would you support this? It lessens the efficiency of units when men serve alongside units, bringing up issues of sexual attraction and protectiveness. Women should be in segregated units. |

| Message | Sexually, on the international level interaction between our own male and female soldiers is preferred over a male army fraternizing with the citizens from the place-of-occupation. The health benefits of decreasing extraneous mingling are alone worth the existing policy, allowing us to give full health examinations to the entirety of involved parties. Militarily, if General Hooker were able to draft his army's 'followers' he would have been made more numerous because of it. Sexual tension between comrades-in-arms is negligible; the only noticeable effect is males attempting to impress their female counterparts by acts of bravery. We encourage these virtues. Thirdly, a number of patriotic women used to attempt to dress as men to enter into the front-line services (just as younger boys have attempted to lie about their age). It would be more efficient to simply recognize the front-line servicewomen. |

| Message | Women and men working together closely in the front line is completely untenable in any professional army. Despite the small numbers of women who currently serve in the front line, we feel that the current policy is the wrong policy. However we see that there is little support for this, but still intend to put the issue to vote. |

| Message | Lt. Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a female sniper of the left, performed an astounding 309 documented kills in one major conflict. |

| Message | That's an excellent response. Although we support right wing policies regarding economics, we absolutely agree with the socialists on social matters, such as rights and equality. Far right wing policies do not belong in Kafuristan. |

| Message | Eh? So that is a good response because it denies that men and women are different? |

| Message | How are they different? Besides physical characteristics? |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
