| Message | We cannot stand for this. People are not obliged to fight for their country. In any case, technology is the future of warfare, not people. |

| Message | People are definitely obliged to defend their country - because their country defends them! This is a good bill, we would like to go even further with militarist proposals. |

| Message | I will not militarise our lads and lasses so they can be used as cannon fodder in our monarch's vanity wars. It would be a different matter entirely in a republic where people democratically elected the head of state who actually decides on the conflicts we enter. Gus De Smet Republican Party Leader |
