Bill: Military/National Service
Details
Submitted by[?]: Black Militant Party
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: December 2226
Description[?]:
| The BMP believes in a stronger military for the protection of Al'Badara but we have stronger belives in civil liberties and the BMP does not believe that people should be requires to serve in the military of national service. People should run their lives not the government. Can you imagine a 17 year old accidently getting a girl pregnant and leaving his child to serve his country or spending less time with his child because he has national service? People should be able to choose. The government wouldn't lose as much money and we could probably make military training tougher with all the money instead. |

| Message | The old Standing Army Versus a Drafted Army argument, eh? After Careful consideration, citing that Al' Badara is an island nation, therefore would benefit more from navy and airforce than from army therefore standing army seems to be a better argument. Therefore we vote yes for more firepower on the expense of manpower. |
