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.

| Message | I see the cases for and against this. Will make up my mind when its time to vote. |

| Message | Our army is all volunteer. The national service requires that all citizens over 21, who are not in school, serve 2 years in a field of national service OR enter the military. Given that the 'field of national service' encompasses a wide range of civilian employment, it's slightly deceptive to claim that our army is made of conscripts. We have made the case for required public service before, and it stands on its own merits. |
