| Message | agreed, we don't want amateurs in the army, we only need a small professional army. We can't afford spending tax payers money on the training of people who will leave the army after only a couple of months because their term ended. We only want to invest in people who stay at least 5 years with us so their training can be put to use. |

| Message | The CPP strongly disagrees with the removal of national service. If we are to use the military in civil contexts, it is important that we have a wide selection of the populus. We do not want a military that consists entirely of gun crazy imbecils. On top of that, we believe that national service is character building and benefits the the draftees as well. |
