| Message | Senators, We oppose all the Articles in this Bill. An irresponsible nuclear weapons policy would make nuclear armageddon more likely. Restricting the role of women in the army would weaken the army, as well as being deeply sexist. And treating POW's with a lower standard of care would be unethical. Senator Tiberia Nemetoria Hybrida Leader of the MC |
