| Message | Our military will be reduced by 2%. Yes, it is not much but when it comes to war, the more we have, the better chance of winning we have (given that the soldiers are properly trained, of course). |

| Message | Sorry, but I feel the principle is more important than 2%. |

| Message | PP, do yo have any idea how many times I have tried to get this through? Many, many times. I know the principle but 2% is 2%. We do not need the law to do this proposal palns to do. Tip: The current value doesn't say how homosexuality is allowed in the military. Take it from there. |

| Message | Haha, you're just desperate and want a huge army. I read the Homosexuality is allowed in the military as that homosexuals can publicly announce it, and therefore create problems for those which have moral beliefs or so forth which are not in the same category. And yeah, the law is poorly written. |

| Message | Exactly, the law is poorly written, it is up to interpretation. |
