Message | Like I have said in the bill description. This will help the youth understand real disipline and how to take care of themselves in society. |
Date | 00:10:01, June 09, 2012 CET | From | Progressive Green Party | To | Debating the Compulsory National Service |
Message | We disagree with both articles; Article 1 should make civilian roles an option (though if non-combat roles are included in "military", we could agree). Article 2 allows for the increased influence of paramilitary organizations, which for the most part are dangerous and ideology-based. |
Date | 02:05:52, June 09, 2012 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Compulsory National Service |
Message | Paramilitaries were abolished during the 2nd Republican era, following the fall of communism. The restoration monarchy will not alter things. We do not wish the return of paramilitary groups. |

Message | OK. I am glad that you can tell me. This is making me learn as I go along because as you know I am a new player I don't really know the ropes. I will concentrate on my department. |
