Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Many of us have a dream. A dream of living for the day with our own bike, beer, boobs and bazooka. Many of us are Alpha. Sadly we have been oppressed by the cultural metzists for so long and taught that this is something ugly we must not do openly. The armed forces should be rearranged so that it gives inventive to a man to be a real man, the Alpha males of the Valruzian nation to act like alphas. Betas who prefer tree-hugging can go take a hike. Reynard the Barbarian Master of Common Sense™ |

| Message | Supreme Marshal of the Diet, Articles 5, 7, and 8 would go against this "Alpha male" concept. If a man is truly a man, then he will not only serve in the military, but serve in the national armed forces, not some private organization. True men declare their loyalty for God, the Fatherland, and the king. I yield. |
