| Message | How is this modernization? Is the HA saying that taking powers away from the military is modernization? |

| Message | Regardless of whether or not we have a moral quandry with the use of these weapons, it is imprudent and foolish to limit and restrict our military capabilities with domestic policy. Even if Rutania outlaws the manufacture and use of such weapons, other nations will not, and will have no qualm with using them in warfare against us. To re-iterate, we are not advocating the use of these weapons by opposing this bill - we are suggesting that, in international military issues, we should never reduce our own options because we find things morally objectionable or inhumane. |
