Bill: Wartime Military Service Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Williams Family
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 3301
Description[?]:
| This Act will ensure that - in the unlikely event that Beluzia is ever engaged in war - our military will be at its best by mandating a term in the military for all able-bodied adults on completion of schooling. Please note that this will not take effect unless Beluzia is actually at war. At all other times, there will be no mandatory service of any kind. It is absolutely essential that we can react quickly in the event of war with another nation to boost our military. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
