Bill: OMP Act of 2170 - Military Policy Resolution IV

Details

Submitted by[?]: Edelweiss Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: February 2172

Description[?]:

Honorable Colleagues,

Our party believes that our beloved women are not to be placed inside a military battle situation, not only can it be 'obstructive' to the military men, the OP also believes that it is not well-considered looking at this from a moral perspective. If women want to serve the military force, they are allowed to do that and more then welcome, but not in a battle situation. There are allot of positions/ranks in the military who have a non-battle purpose where Likaton women can easily develop their career.

Regards

MessageTotally agree, we resent 'progressive' elements efforts to put women in the front line, men have always fought to protect their families, its begger belief to suggest their families should accompany them, next 'progressives' will be 'fighting' for the right for children to fight in the front line.

MessageThe AAS finds it hard to believe that, in this day and age, there are still people who would propose legislation to discriminate against more than half of the population, simply because they had the good fortune to be born with a uterus.

MessageOne does not choose to be born the way they want to be - every single man or woman has its task to fulfil and both are the best in what they were ment to do. I would like to refer to the statement of our good Colleagues of the Conservative Party: "...men have always fought to protect their families...". Families are the cornerstone of this Nation and the woman has a very important role to fulfil in favour of the children.

We do not discriminate women, we just want to regulate the Military's division, men can serve in a battle position, women in a non-battle position.

MessageThe AAS finds the OMP position curiously backwards. According to armed forces statistics, the sniper scores for our armed forces are about evenly divided between men and women, with a very slight advantage to the women... which COULD be simply due to the fact that slightly more than half of our population are female.

According to those same statistics, many of our best pilots and drivers are women.

The OMP, and their lackeys in the Conservative Party, seem to be seriously insisting that we remove some of our BEST troops from combat positions, SIMPLY because the OMP and CP seem to believe that a woman's place is barefoot and naked in the kitchen, popping out babies.

MessageGovernment statistics are regularly found to be fradulent by the Independent National Statistics Organisation. We are wary of the AAS manipulation of these statistics, that have rather curiously just been released to the public, yet were omitted from the Armed Forces Report of 2169.

As for your final statement, that is below contempt. You suggest that the CP wish to see women "...barefoot and naked in the kitchen, popping out babies...", yet the AAS would rather see them barefoot and naked in a POW camp, brutally raped by the savages of Deltaria perhaps? Or maybe you would rather see them lying in a pool of blood on the battlefield, her children back home motherless.

FromCommonwealth Workers Army
ToDebating the OMP Act of 2170 - Military Policy Resolution IV
MessageThe CP unfortunately, fell straight into our rhetorical trap. You note that the Conservative Party response again centres around sexuality "brutally raped by the savages of Deltaria" (because, of course, no rapes EVER occur to male POWs?), and then, once again, imply that a woman serves no other purpose but to act as the 'conduit' of future generations of Likatonians; "her children back home motherless".

The AAS wishes to see NO Likatonians dead, or as pawns in some POW/MIA wargame. We do not wish to see our brave boys bleeding under alien skies.... no more do we wish to see our gallant girls fallen on foreign soil.

However, there is a core of Likatonian women that wish to serve their country... that are MORE than willing to risk ultimate sacrifice.

The Anarch Anakrousites are not willing to forbid those soldiers from the combat arena, JUST because they happen to have ovaries.

MessageWe will not support this legislation. We beleive Termani, a female herself and warrior of the faith would want nothing less than to be on the front line of any battle concerning Likatonia.

MessageIf a small minority of women wish to serve, we see no problem with them having a sex change operation, paid for by the military, so that they can pass basic requirements of phallushood.

ToDebating the OMP Act of 2170 - Military Policy Resolution IV
MessageThe AAS does not expect the ToTAL to be mollified by suggestions of transgender surgery... especially since such comments could be construed as an attack on the Sacred Order of Tears of Termani.

ToDebating the OMP Act of 2170 - Military Policy Resolution IV
MessageTOTAL could not have put it better themselves, and thanks the AAS for this observation.
TOTAL feel at liberty to remind those that favour equality between the genders cannot really support this proposal, it is an attack on the right of a woman to fight for her country ? Why reduce a status that has already proved viable for so many years in Likatonia.
Do you really want thousands of Army trained women told they have to go back to some other profession?
The other part of the argument is that we then have to pull just as many able bodied men out of the economy to replace the women we lose.
