| Message | OK, I'll split 'em up next time. Still, I would like to change your mind on the other two. Women should not serve in combat positions for several reasons, but turn the question around: "for what reason SHOULD they fight in combat?" is it to help our military out, due to extremity of need? Certainly not, for we are not at war. is it because soldiers fight better when they are co-ed? obviously not, as history evidences. There does not seem to be a strategic benefit to co-ed (man vs. woman) combat. Finally, does it benefit women to be in combat? Certainly not! Our women objectively appear most happy when they are baking muffins, as all research indicates. |

| Message | Regarding other races or religions, thats simple. If we are at war with Rutania, and they are muslim, and a rutanian muslim tries to join our military.... we might take them in, but you'd better believe they'd have an eye kept on them at all times. If our military doesn't want them, for WHATEVER reason, they will do what is the best interest of the Beluzian people. |
