| Message | Agreed. Sekowo should aim to protect itself by contracting private military companies. |
| Date | 21:03:16, May 31, 2009 CET | From | Mugenkai | To | Debating the SUN.006.2764 National Service Plan |
| Message | That's certainly an option. SUN favors a professional army and no draft, along with long-term efforts to promote a society where war will no longer be a fact of life. While we hope for a world where no nation needs a military, we are not so naive as to think it can be accomplished without radical social change over a long period of time. |
