Message | Absolute not. These are critical to our defense. There is no such thing as an 'honorable' war. All war is brutal. |

Message | I can agree with the last statement. All was is brutal. So why not try to make it as honourable as possible? I disagree that they are vital to our defense, as even with our current military budget (not mentioning your proposed increase in spending) we have enough to fund production of better means of protection that are not as terrible as nuclear and chemical weapons. Or, if such means do not yet exist, to develop said means. |

Message | I doubt these will pass as Zardugal's military approach seems to be somewhere in the middle. I am unsure whether to vote for this or not, as IC I support but OOC I do not. |
