Message | During time of war, we have always had no shortages of volunteers for the military. The patriotism of the average citizen is above reproach, and this bill is at best, unnecessary, and at worst, insulting to the citizenry of our great land. |

Message | In these uncertain times we have no idea how much manpower may be required to fight a major war, although we to agree with the RLP that this has not been an issue in the past. We are hoping this provision for the future will never be needed, however a bigger disaster will result if we dont plan now. |
