| Message | Expanding the military and allowing it to act how it thinks it should in times of war will make our nation much more secure. Also, by having everyone serve a term in the military they will gain very useful life experiences. |
| Date | 00:24:24, December 06, 2008 CET | From | New Republic Party | To | Debating the Military Reform Act |
| Message | This bill give way too much power to the military. It gives the military free reign to do whatever it takes to achieve there objectives, even by using equipment that could have terrible repercussions, both here and abroad. Also, why should we force people to join the armed forces? People can do just as much good in a civilian national service as in the military, and it prevents the government form forcing pacifists from going against there ideals. |
