| Message | We strongly oppose this bill, we are concerned about limiting the options of our already undersized military and don't feel comfortable taking away possible avenues of defense/deterrence. Article 1 and 2 are especially concerning. Article 3 we can deal with for now but would like to see changed in the future. |
