Description[?]:
| This bill seeks to bring changes in the military concerning its enlistment, service, and such. The PEP encourages all parties to support this change so that we may wisely utilize our manpower and help our country militarily progress. ## Article 1 This would bolster our military size and not let people use homosexuality as an excuse to not serve in times of war. As long as no lines are crossed or malicious activities committed, homosexuals should not be prohibited in pursuing a career in the military. ## Article 2 Racial and religious discrimination no longer has a place in modern society. Religion must not stop a person from serving this glorious nation. One's race should also not determine if one is capable of fighting for this country ours. As long as one is a citizen of Egelion, they should be given the chance to fight and prove themselves worthy of being part of this nation. ## Article 3 Women should be allowed to serve in the military. Men and women will be placed in different, segregated units to ensure that men can do their own thing whilst the women can do theirs. One's gender should not be a hindrance to uphold one's responsibilities to this country. A man's liberty is the same as woman's. We hope to get all of your support. Thank you. We are one, forever! --- Este proyecto de ley busca cambios en el ejército con respecto a su alistamiento, servicio y demás. El PEP alienta a todos los partidos a apoyar este cambio para que podamos utilizar sabiamente nuestra mano de obra y ayudar a nuestro país a progresar militarmente. ## Articulo 1 Esto reforzaría nuestro tamaño militar y no permitiría que las personas usen la homosexualidad como una excusa para no servir en tiempos de guerra. Mientras no se crucen las líneas o se cometan actividades maliciosas, no se debe prohibir a los homosexuales seguir una carrera en el ejército. ## Artículo 2 La discriminación racial y religiosa ya no tiene cabida en la sociedad moderna. La religión no debe impedir que una persona servir a esta gloriosa nación. La propia raza tampoco debería determinar si uno es capaz de luchar por este país nuestro. Mientras uno sea ciudadano de Egelion, se les debe dar la oportunidad de luchar y demostrar que son dignos de ser parte de esta nación. ## Artículo 3 Las mujeres deberían poder servir en el ejército. Hombres y mujeres serán ubicados en diferentes unidades segregadas para asegurar que los hombres puedan hacer lo que quieran, mientras que las mujeres pueden hacer lo suyo. El género propio no debe ser un obstáculo para mantener las responsabilidades de uno con este país. La libertad de un hombre es igual a la de una mujer. Esperamos obtener todo su apoyo. Gracias. Somos uno, para siempre! |
