| Message | I don't believe this is needed. We already have a draft in case of war. I prefer current law. |

| Message | I'd rather go for a sort of swiss aproach, we can cut back on permanent army numbers if this is passed, i am a bit of a militarist but i think if there is a permanent conscription then there is no need for a large standing army. |

| Message | I prefer a well trained professional miltary, that is also mobile and can respond quickly where needed. Full scale conscription is beyond our nations capabilities and are less reliable than the active duty military. The current law is good becuase it is a last resort, we can call up troops if needed. In order for this proposal to work, our defense budget must be increased by a wide margin and we canot affor it. |

| Message | We support the L-PU in this. A highly trained professional military is much more reliable than large scale consription. Training wouldn't be as good as many would not be there through choice, and the costs would be exponential. The current law is the preffered option. |

| Message | We'd like to point that the goals of a mandatory military term ain't just providing fresh youngblood to the military, but also introducing youth to the work world. We'd support this if people had freedom to choose between either a mandatory military or civilian service. Otherwise, the current law is the preferred option as a professional, steady and full of willing military is the best solution for modern warfare. |

| Message | The introduction to the "world of work" is included in the education received by our youngsters already. http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=9964 |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
