The correct term in the penal code is "fixed-term imprisonment" not "jail time"

As Defense Minister, I will oppose this bill. Mandatory military service is a violation of the free will of the citizens of Banduria, and so long as I am Defense Minister, I will strive to ensure that the rights of Bandurians are protected, including their right to determine whether or not they wish to serve in the military.

As Defense Minister, I know that you want to keep Banduria safe, which must be an incredibly difficult job given our relative size and population compared to anyone of our neighbors and the ferocity of terrorist cells that operate throughout the continent. The next century is going to be very contentious, and the rights of Bandurians will be under constant attack. That is what this bill is for, for protecting our rights as Bandurians from those who wish us ill. It has come to my attention that it might benefit us all if practicing Buddhist monks are made exempt from combat-roles, can I count on your sponsorship DM? In the name of keeping Banduria everlasting and safe? |

If they do, then of course we in the Defense Ministry are more than happy for their service to their communities and to the Republic, and will aim to provide them training and equipment to make them ready in the event that we must take to arms. But unless we are in a state of national emergency where a draft is required, I will not force Bandurians to serve in our military. I will not sponsor this bill, and should it make its way to the floor of the House, I will fight it tooth and nail. |
