As concerns the national defense:
1. National service provides fundamentals for the development of good habits, discipline and order.
2. Weapons of war should not be exported to foreign nations, prolonging foreign conflicts.
3. We have a right to self defense, and should never strike first.

| Union Of The Socialist Majority | 0 | No | While the other points are fine, national service is a non-starter for us. Forcing all adults to serve in an army for two years, to enforce the will of a capitalist nation, is awful. We should be freeing our people, and our army is fine enough as a volunteer force. |
