| Message | The PNU stand for a strong military in the Pontesian Dynastic Commonwealth. However that being said, we recognize we have no national threats at the moment and are thus not as strongly adamant about a strong military. However we feel that development and training of military forces is essential for when the need does arrise. |

| Message | Mandatory National Service creates apathetic and passionless conscripts. We'd be better off letting them choose a job in the PDC that they can keep for years rather than a life as a meatshield that mightn't last one. As much as the Civilian service alternative is present, they can choose a civil service career if they want anyway. This, combined with the segregation in article 1, means we cannot support this bill. If you don't like homosexuals so much, you should put more in the military so they get shot anyway! |

| Message | Cynical Bastardy Party that is Deplorable! We simply feel that any open sexuality is not appropriate in work enviroments. Especailly in a working environment that would be of attraction to individuals in question. It is the same idea of a sexually charged atmosphere towards the opposite sex we would not tolerate. |
