| Message | I see how your first and second points could work, but saying that "time spent in the military helps to build moral charactor" really is a bit of a stretch. (We are against conscription anyway, as we feel it should be up to the person, not their government whether they serve in the military. IRL I would never serve.) |

| Message | Well, it kind of is, but the first two points are the main thrust of this. |
