| Date | 22:41:04, August 11, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2620 |
| Message | We still need to pay for the defense contracts. The covert operations do not take even 2% of the Defense Budget. You do realize that the more we spend on Defense, the more respectability we get on the world as having a powerful military, correct? The less we spend on it, the more weak we are going to look to the rest of the world. OOC: For Rping purposes, per soldier spending is what determines how powerful your military is equipment-wise. |
