| Message | Because of Article 1. (Deltaria is one of the largest arms exporter in Majarta and defense industry employs 21% of the working age population. If this proposal passes, it would mean huge losses for the industry.) Article 3 (Every citizen of this country should pass military training, so that in case of emergency or war could help their compatriots AND COUNTRY) Article 4 (This law shoud remain the responsibility of local authorities). And finally for article 2 we do not want to discuss. 75 % of citizens of Deltaria identified themselves as Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant. According to a survey conducted in the last mandate, the Defence and Veterans Affairs 85% of soldiers do not want to be in presence of soldiers who identified themselves as homosexuals. |

| Message | The DCF seems to playing concensus politics while what the nation needs is conviction, instead of helping the Humanist Mandate, all it does is bow down to public pressure and play vote bank politics. Article 1 is fair enough a point and therefore it shall be cancelled |

| Message | We support. DCF, you are eating your words. You said: 75% of Deltarians are Christians. But that means that they won't fight in the military! You cannot force Christians to kill people for they country! |

| Message | DPP who said about killing for the country. Did you ever pass military traning. In military traning you do not learn how to kill people. |
| Date | 21:48:19, September 21, 2012 CET | From | Interim National Democratic Congress | To | Debating the Military Reform Act |
| Message | The DCF's comments are irrelevant. What are essential are the numbers. If the growth rate of military volunteers is good, there's therefore no worst case scenario. |

| Message | The Infi Act which is lying in deba limbo states that we have 400,000 active and 600,000 reserve forces, which is a total of 1000,000 forces. I hope the DCF has n concerns now. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
