Bill: Military restructuring
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples 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: April 2232
Description[?]:
| It is our nations foremost assignment to defend our borders and to protect our citizens. Therefore it is neccesary to introduce the possibel use of chemical and biological warfare. In these modern times it is important to be backed with the newest and best army equipment and military technique. It is now time for the Hobrazian Parliament to take time to think of what will become of the Republic of Hobrazia, if we cannot defend ourself. This is a step in the right direction and should therefore be allowed. We should take further precautions to avoid future conflict. In peacetime we can have resolutions telling our stance on these issues, but we must still have the possibility to enforce our right as nation. |

| Message | There is no requirement for this. We already have a perfectly capable conventional force plus our forces are able to use nuclear weapons, something we continue to oppose, which provide us with the ability to retaliate against any foe. The use of chemical and biological weapons would be foolish as they would be as likely to seriously harm our forces as they would any invader and so makes their usefulness moot. |
