| Message | Madam Speaker, apart from the glaring injustice of compelling young people to take up arms and join the military involuntarily, we fail to see how the emerging of countless private armed groups would in any way foster our nation's capability of defending itself - quite the opposite is true, it would be way too labor-intensive to co-ordinate joint strikes of all these groups against foreign invaders. Jacqueline Townsend MP Member for Valdor GNP Defence Spokeswoman |
