Bill: UFL - Kazulian Military
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Føderale League (NUC-DMF)
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: June 2697
Description[?]:
| To create a truly Kazulian military, for use both in domestic, and foreign policy, both for defensive and agressive uses. With citizens we can trust. This bill: Grants law enforcement capabilities to the military, to enforce peace within our own borders. Grants defense contracts to private firms, to dramatically drop defense expendatures. Requires that all military personnel be Kazulian, to know that they fight for their people and nation. Removes prisoners of war from legal protection. They are fortunate they were not shot upon the field, what better then to use them against their own military, in whatever way the military deems appropriate. War is fought to be won, not for honour or chivalry. Requires that women serve in segregated units, so as not to distract male soldiers. |
