Bill: Military reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Clara Aurora - COSIRA
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Our army will only be strong if those serving in it are compromised with what they are doing. There is no logic in forcing everyone into the military, as a bad soldier can lead to a worse defeat. Because of that, military and police forces should also be separated, so that everyone can do better their respective jobs. Syra Roscius, Selucian Minister of Defence |
