| Message | @Article 1: We refuse to sell our WMDs; these are for Hobrazian use only. Selling them undermines our power. @Article 2: No, we are better than other nations and should act accordingly. @Article 3: History has proven time and time again that conscript armies are inferior to professional ones. If we want to bolster our numbers, then we need to offer better incentives to our brave servicemen. @Article 3: Last time I checked, women have index fingers capable of firing a weapon. If a women can hang in there with the boys, then it would be a detriment to our armed forces to exclude them. The bill description says that its aim is "to support our military," yet every single article does quite the opposite. All of these will weaken Hobrazian our military might. |
