Message | Article 1 , CNP wants to make National Service mandatory and this treaty is forbidding us so. CNP also believes even if we have no National Service it should be our law that says we don't have it, not some supra-national treaty. Article 2. Well this will clearly increase our economy and, it will force both state and private weapon makers to produce better weapons. Article 3. Homosexuality creates numerous problems within army and creates immorality in institution which is supposed to be moral post of a country. Article 4.Pretty obvious, Army knows best if they need or don't need to use land mines for their operations. Article 5.Military also knows what profile of people it wants in their ranks. Article 6.We do not see why should people who attacked us have special treatment before our other citizens. Article 7.This improves free trade, and there is seriously no harm in exporting conventional weapons. Article 8.It is better that we keep Cildanian women as safe as possible. We will leave this in debate for 1-2, if someone wishes to argue or negotiate. |
