| This bill proposes changes to legislation on military, allowing for better defence in the event of war or terrorist attacks which will safeguard our citizens from potential harm as well as allowing Hulstria a greater military presence in the modern world.

| Message | Der ehrenwerte Sprecher für Verteidigung, Hirotsugu Yamauchi MR (AF, Hilgar): "There is no question that we will oppose this legislation. Apart from our well-known opinions on such issues as state ownership of defense industries and mandatory military service, we find it highly suspicious that a new party consisting of foreign expatriates should literally materialize on our shores, and among their first actions is an attempt to legalize paramilitaries for political parties. Our new compatriots are beginning to show startling signs of similarity to the radical socialist dictatorship that we Septembrists fought so hard to overcome less than half a century ago. I hope, for the sake of our people, that I am wrong." |

| Message | "Not radical at all my dear fellow, I come from a Davostag and Malivian heritage, both very war-like countries. Paramilitaries were almost vital in those countries to keep the party alive, not just for political uses. I hope you will respect my beliefs that have been so drilled into me by my father and grandfather not to insult me or compare me to a 'radical socialist dictatorship' even if you don't agree with my proposed legislation." -Quinn Herbert in reply to Hirotsugu Yamauchi and the Allianz für Freiheit. |
