The Issue

The Department of Defense has put its case for a substantial increase in funding for the coming financial year.

The Debate

  • "These are turbulent times we live in," says Defense Chief Colin Chen. "Turbulent and dangerous. And the only sensible response to that, of course, is to build a lot more weapons. Unless we get the funding we need, I can't promise that we'll be able to defend Komarr's sovereign borders from rogue nations and foreign powers. Or those leaky boatloads of refugees, for that matter."

  • "NO MORE BOMBS," chant the protestors outside Parliament House, in a repetitious and increasingly annoying appeal. Spokesperson Sarah Peters, speaking through a feedback-afflicted microphone, says, "Komarr needs fewer weapons, not more! Make the world a safer place! Disarm now!"


You may also vote to dismiss the issue. Discussion of issues is always welcome.

I voted for option one; The reason why I voted in such a way is because more funding for the Ministry of Defense does not mean more war, in fact it is quite the opposite, it's an national insurance if you will, there are quite a few rogue nations out there as well as some rogue organizations and a well trained and well funded Military limits the casualties in a disaster (Natural or otherwise).
