| Date | 11:22:21, July 10, 2019 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Army Autonomy Act II |
| Message | Reasoning for each of these laws: Land Mines - the professionals in the military know how to utilize them far more than us politicians. By legislating their use, we not only endanger our chances of victory and the lives of our soldiers, but also the lives of the civilian or allied population of the opposing side, due to incompetent use. The military will know how to employ them better than we ever will. Appointment of Military Officers - This one is obvious - a battlefield commission system literally means that ranks of command are purchased. This means that promotion in the military is less so about merit on the battlefield, but rather more about one's socio-economic class. This not only weakens our command structure (since it is not merit based), threatening our chances of victory, but also makes our army more mistake-prone - thereby leading to more Gaduri casualties. This law must be changed. The Minister of Defense would be a good start to reform in how the military officer corps functions. Treatment of Prisoners of War - In all instances in which this applies, we are the captor power, treating enemy prisoners of war. I would argue that the Gaduri standard towards POWs is far more humane than the "internationally-accepted standards". For example, many nations still have the death penalty, and many nations still have instances wherein torture is legal. By the law of the captor power (or the Federal Union of Gaduridos, in other words) means that POWs would likely be treated in a more humane fashion, simply because Gaduri law regarding the treatment of prisoners exceeds in quality as when compared to the international law. |
