Bill: Combat Effectiveness Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Covenanters (IA)
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.
Voting deadline: November 2206
Description[?]:
| A bill to ensure that front line combat units such as infantry, engineers, artillery forward observers, commandos and special forces are able to operate effectively by ensuring they are formed exclusively from heterosexual male personnel. This is for two main reasons. I The "lover in jeopardy" scenario. These types of units depend on a willingness of the soldiers to fight on while their comrades fall around them, administering first age after the objective is taken. Psychological tests and anecdotal evidence from countries that have experimented with mixed gender combat units suggest it is impossible for a human being to be trained to fight on while a lover is in jeopardy. Worse still an in-bred sense of chivalry usually prevent men from obeying such training when an attractive female comrade is injured. II Battlefield Procedure/Hard Routine. When operating close to or behind enemy lines there is little room for personal space in the kinds of units outlined above. This lack of personal space would be considered intrusive in any other walk of life with urinating, defecating, etc taking place in close proximity and battle buddies have to check each other's private areas for ticks, lice, bites, etc. These problems are simply eradicated by creating a single sex environment where all the men are known to be heterosexual. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
