| Message | Support #1. #2 is ridiculous. The government cannot be trusted to stay competitive and strong in the defense industry. Our military would fall apart. #3 is too strong. We support that in times of war, adults CAN be required to serve a term in the military. We would like to remind the liberal rights activists that in our supported value, it is CAN not MUST in times of war. |

| Message | #2 - We do not trust a private company, with only the profit motive to drive it (after all, no profit=no company) to produce weapons for our soldierass. It is *far* too important for this to be left to a marketing board to produce a weapon simply for the biggest perceived profit. #3 We do not feel this is too strong. This measured proposition will give vital skils to all participants, will result in a pool of military personell that we can call upon in times of war and give everyone who participates a 'stake' in the country's wellbeing. |

| Message | Yes but you see the 'profit motive' is what strives a private enterprise to do the best. When you have a minimum wage paid bearucrat doing that work, he/she knows they won't be getting anything extra for working harder. In a private enterprise one can get bonuses. Time and time again private enterprise has crushed communism and socialist practices. NO TO THIS BILL |
