Bill: Military Support
Details
Submitted by[?]: Justice League of Cildania
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2624
Description[?]:
| Yes, Cildania has enemies. Yes, they will act much more boldly if they know it is our policy to tie our own hands behind our backs. Weapons are simply tools, by themselves they hurt no one. In the right hands they can save millions without ever being used, something that currently would not be possible if we maintain this policy of preemptive capitulation. |
