| Message | Rt Hon Baron Mancini MP, NSC Frontbencher, Madam Speaker, the NSC see the opportunity to be a patriot for your nation a better liberty than say, being allowed to crossdress in Hutori! It is a proud achievement to serve your nation of the greater good and Hutori needs the service of many young people in its armies. The NSC/UFD will begin massive army expansion and give control of any means neccessary back to the army in the form of weapons outlawed by the CLP/Labour government. The liberty of the state wanting you for servitude is a great one that the people deserve. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I have never seen such a crude attempt to construe the nature of liberty to suit political purposes. Madam Speaker, this is not an opportunity nor a liberty to serve one's country. This is a compulsion, entirely different to liberty and opportunity. The liberty and opportunity to serve the country already exists. Any adult in this country could join the armed forces should they so desire. Madam Speaker, this will simply make the armed forces weaker. We should be encouraging people to join voluntarily, not forcing them to join. |

| Message | Rt Hon Baron Mancini MP, NSC Frontbencher, Madam Speaker, if the CLP think having people who dont want to join the army will make the nation weaker then the CLP obviously arent aware of military training camps. Also given the law changes regarding police powers im sure people will want to join the armed forces in Hutori |

| Message | Madam Speaker, this will make the armed forces weaker because no longer will we be able to claim that our armed forces work to keep this nation free. If individuals are compelled to join the forces, no longer does our military have any platform on which to claim freedom. Madam Speaker, do the NSC not understand the power of freedom? |
| Date | 13:32:16, June 14, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Military Service Bill of 2953 |
| Message | Madam Speaker, that arguement is purely mythical. The army of Hutori will be used in Hutorian interests and we would not be getting involved in any warfare that doesnt suit our own interests. The CLP need to understand that. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
