| Message | That is blatant discrimination and that is the reason why we oppose this. Now, considering your arguments I do not see the reason why you actually proposed the article. If you want women to no longer be a distraction, you could better propose "Women serve in segregated units.". |

| Message | Fair enough, but what happens when the female units engaged in military operations in conjunction with male units. |

| Message | Then you rely on the training these military folk have had and their expertise. If they are any bit of decent, they should understand the seriousness of the situation, and be trained to not let themselves be distracted by the other gender. This is the case too currently, so we don't see a need to change the current value, especially since it still remains discrimination. |

| Message | This is ridiculous. How are they a distraction? I think professional soldiers are intelligent enough to get their priorities straight and keep focused on staying alive, rather than staring at pretty women in uniform. |

| Message | But if a woman gets shot in combat all the men will run to help her, its natural. therefore we think they should be removed to increase the efficiency of the military |

| Message | I think we need a decrease in the total military but i think segreegated units might be better as they will be able to maximise abilities of both male and female |

| Message | Okay NCG, what did you not understand about the expertise of the military? These people have training you know! Training for combat, not for rushing to women when they are hurt. Besides, the natural instinct of, you know, surviving and the desire to win the battle will come before hormones on that moment. And RWE, could you be a bit more explainatory then "we support"? |

| Message | We will oppose this bill as it is in conflict with our party's individual equality policy. |

| Message | "But if a woman gets shot in combat all the men will run to help her, its natural. therefore we think they should be removed to increase the efficiency of the military." This displays a rather poor level of confidence in our fighting men AND women. If any member in a military unit is shot the natural reaction for anyone is to rush to their aid. Unfortunately, in a military situation the first goal is to complete the mission. The Rildanorian Army is a well-trained outfit, and thus I have absolute confidence that they are capable of completing their mission first. |
