WA Resolution: Repeal Veteran's Reform Act

[Sheynat]

Description: WA Resolution #32: Veterans Reform Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: SADDENED by the fact that this resolution was submitted before it was effectively refined;

OUTRAGED at the multitude of flaws this resolution holds within its body;

DISMAYED by the fact that member nations will be required to fund care for another nation's "veterans", including, but not limited to, those soldiers who have recently been at war againt them or those they will be at war with in the future;

ALARMED by this resolution’s definition of “veteran” that includes not only those citizens who have willingly joined their nation’s armed services, but also those who have been conscripted which, in certain cases, can include a vast majority of a nation's citizens;

CONCERNED that the WA Veterans Assistance Office (WAVAO) requires all member nations to incur the monetary cost of all services allocated by Section 4 of the "Veterans Reform Act" through use of the W.A. General Fund;

MORTIFIED that the expenditures incurred to the General Fund by the WAVAO are exponential, un-restricted, unregulated and extremely vulnerable to corrupt abuse, leading to a high likelihood of massive depletion of W.A. funds;

HEREBY repeals the Veterans Reform Act.

Missed the vote on this one-voting ended sooner than I expected. Figured it'd be this evening, and wanted to leave more time to get votes in. It passed anyway, though-I'll just have to go back to voting the previous night.

[Bad Infinitum]

No harm, no foul.

Isn't this the one that was just in there a while back? The one everybody hated?

[Sheynat]

Yeah. The one that even the creators admitted was badly made.

[Jmarjhah]

No question.
