| Message | This legislation is in response with previous legislation that was proposed by the Meritocratic Party "MC 09-2779." This current legislation "Military Improvement Act" proposed by the Republican Party is a new and modified version that is bi-partisan and comprehensive with all parties that will work more effectively than the previous legislation. Article 1 will enhance defense measures from warmongering nations that attack our country. Article 2 will allow the free market to produce military equipment, however, the government is the main key to help fund our military with the sufficient necessities for war. Article 3 will gurantees independent rights to the people of this country. Article 4 will supply the government with the the information it needs. Prisoners of war will not be mistreated for no responsible reason. Prisoners of war will only receive enhanced interrogation techniques when serious and important information that can help our national security is needed. |
