| Message | why? BTW, since homosexuals are expelled from the army, saying you're gay seems like a good way to weasel your way out of a military draft |
| Date | 14:27:08, March 17, 2006 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the In the Army Act |
| Message | Because homosexuality is immoral and if someone is gay in a unit and the people know, the unit will not function properly. |
