| Message | I will support "don't ask, don't tell" policy |
| Date | 02:05:00, November 06, 2012 CET | From | Independent Party | To | Debating the Military Opportunity Act |
| Message | This will affect unit cohesion. We do not support the proposal. |
| Date | 02:17:31, November 06, 2012 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Military Opportunity Act |
| Message | Allowing all capable Lodamese to volunteer for the armed forces makes this nation stronger. Will the IP support racial segregation of our army because Kregonese serving next to Andalayans might make a racist uncomfortable? The army should reflect the strength of our entire society. |
| Date | 02:32:06, November 06, 2012 CET | From | Independent Party | To | Debating the Military Opportunity Act |
| Message | We would oppose racial segregation as the current law prohibits discrimination based on race or religion. |
| Date | 06:50:13, November 06, 2012 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Military Opportunity Act |
| Message | Except the IP has attempted to change society. It has voted to make homosexuality illegal in the United Republics. Unit cohesion is a convenient excuse for the "Independents" who embrace a radical agenda that puts Lodamun at odds with the vast majority of other civilized Terrain nations. |
