| Message | Compulsory military service is a much needed measure. We cannot maintain our military in a high level of combat readiness without conscripts. We would need an excessive amount of money to hire more proffesional soldiers to do the everyday activities of our conscripts. This matter should not even be discussed as it is a matter of National Security. Mj General Gulik Agnarsson |

| Message | Mr. Gulik is very much afraid of loosing his job, isn't he? But we believe that freedom of speech allows us to discuss any matter and this policy certainly is not contributing towards a better military. Mr. Agnarsson said that professional soldiers cost more. But do you know why? Because they are better, they do not dessert and they are not random people that are not capable of performing service. Additionally the law discriminates against the working people, because it allows rich people to forego military service! This is EXTREMELY UNFAIR and we will protest against it. This government is a silly kleptocracy that should be removed, -Rikardur Oegmundursson SD |
