| Message | According to latest public opinion polls, the people do not want gays in the military so we oppose article 1! Article 2 we also oppose. We feel that if there's a war, that we should have a draft in order to better defend ourselves. Article 3 should stay as it is. |

| 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). |
