I, Anthony Montague, hereby apply for a commission in the Ocian Defence Forces with a view to aiding the formulation of a strategy for this war as well as commanding forces.

This is withdrawn. The Ministry should not be using bully boy tactics against Ocian citizens to make them fight in a war. I'll apply once everyone is asked to apply in the name of Ocian liberties.

Mr. Montague I completely agree with this and the Minister's actions were misled, because someone told him to do so. However it IS manditory for all Ocian citizens to serve in the Ocian Defence Forces

I understand that as much as the next citizen. I don't agree with the heavy handedness of this though. Perhaps the Minister should read Teddy Roosevelt's mantra of "talk softly and carry a big stick" instead of his approach of shout loudly and carry no stick at all.

As far as I am aware the Minister was only following orders.

Then, perhaps the one giving orders should read it..

Perhaps you shouldn't try to order me to read anything, citizen.

Perhaps you should have greater love of democracy and remember who's serving whom, Kolya.

I am well aware of whom I am serving - Ocia, and none other.

Without us poor, defenceless citizens there is no Ocia... so in 'serving' Ocia, you 'serve' everyone in it. WE as one unit create it and no-one should be put down or made to be felt inferior, Kolya.

We're all citizens, and we're all equal Regardless of position, wealth or even ethnicity and heritage. |

I wasn't implying ms. Panks isn't an equal in Ocia, I was merely stating that my judgement on the situation was correct and I didn't as for her opinion.
