| Message | I agree wtih this bill because we must treat prisoners of war (who are often soldiers forced to fight) in a manner that will not offend the enemy's country. After wars, countries are often judged on how they treat POWs, which could hurt Quanzari at the international scene, including relations with other countries. |

| Date | 22:46:33, February 15, 2006 CET | From | Corporatists for Quanzari | To | Debating the Military Reform of 2185 |
| Message | The bill contributes to the power of the international community over our citizens, taking the power of democracy from their hands and placing it in the hands of other nations. Decisions of this importance must be weighed solely by national advisors. "(Who are often soldiers forced to fight)" Ridiculous, and unimportant. They are nevertheless in warfare against our state. Whether a man wishes to or not, if he attacks our state, we cannot simply stand by and say, "Oh, well, he didn't mean to do it." That sort of cowardice is of a different brand, and I am ashamed of our country's way of kneeling before external powers. |
