Ladies and gentlemen of the Czech Republic I am sorry for the long period from when I haven't had a true public address.
I would like to point out to people what is happening with the world today. Wars are sprouting up all around us and what happens? The oppressed and the aggressors are coming to OUR doors and asking for OUR help. There is no problem with our citizens making the individual decision to venture out and fight for themselves and for a cause they feel is right. The problem comes from the AMOUNT of nations coming to our doorstep. Just this past week India and Ireland officials posted articles in our national newspaper section. Has our nation become a nation of cheap and easy mercenaries? Is that all we're good for? What happened to our stances on neutrality? Have we become a nation of double standards? Regardless of the reasons, supporting one nation means condemning another. How can we say we don't support war and then immediately sign up for someone else's?
The United Slavs does not support War under any circumstances. We may allow freedom fighting but sending off our abled bodied men to foreign lands whenever we get the chance is NOT the way to go.
I call upon our President Red Duck to address these issues publicly. When large portions of our active population go abroad we lose productivity. We lose congressmen and movers and shakers within our government. We lose the momentum we create to push our nation forward. We need to set up OUR OWN military before we send out individuals.
As the leading General of the Czech Guard I am officially announcing to my Commanders to get their divisions under control. I want all of the guard to be positioned within the nation until further notice.
As for the rest of our nation, Red Duck, I wish you feel the same way. Let's get a position out here before more of our citizens jump on these “opportunities.”
Comments
I agree that we should not aide every war and be considered a resource of free soldiers. We should be organised and make sure we get good terms for our participation, including provision of moving tickets, food, shelter, and guns.
Recently I went to war for the Australian resistance and returned two ranks higher after only a few days away. We must way the cost of loss of soverignty aginst the cost of loss of a fewdyas income.
But I cannot agree that we should not encourage some degree of external war participation. Out there mighty armies grow stronge every day with immense fighting power. Without experience, our soldiers are incredibly weak against potential invaders - and wihtout a powerful army our dipolmatic power to continue to negitate a peaceful route is threatened. Yes we must continue to build defense systems, hospitals weapons and gifts stockpiles. But this is not enough.

Then we should set up a way doing it OUR way if it must be done. Why should we alow other nations to drop in and take our soldiers without national consideration?
What exactly do you mean? Any military operation is going to be conducted in such a way that it won't bring our nation into conflict. As for military "walkabouts," I'm sure they happen everywhere but especially in nations like ours that is not marred by war.
Ivan - I don't disagree with you on that point. It should be organsied centrally. I'm sorry if my comment did not make that clear. It meant to.

I agree that our country must be neutral fol long as it can, whereas is eRepublic world all in war. But, war will come on our territory soon an we MUST BY PREPARED for it. For that reason I support any effort to build our national army and equiping it with high quality weapon and moving tickets to send them to warzones wher they can raise their experience and when we will be forced to war, then will for us fights WETERAN, not novices without experiences in combat. An if governement consider to buy some high quality defence sistem on world market I will suport that idea too!
They are not "our" soldiers. We have a democracy here and if someone wants to be a mercenary, then I say let him be a mercenary. Our army is voluntary, people who applied on it can also leave if they want to. This is not real-life military where strict obeying of orders is insisted. And Red Duck, you, or anyone can´t stop people to leave the country.
Yes we are a democracy and people should be allowed to go where they please.
But there needs to be a sense of patriotism. We're ranked 38 our 40 or so nations. We need some sense of cooperation. We can NOT have people running into our country and grabbing as many people as they can, with or without a strength benefit for us later.
One of the reasons why the larger countries succeed is they have some sense of control over their population. I'm not talking about "strict obeying of orders" as you talk about, but people are expected to put country first. Not themselves.
I know I put country first, but still sometimes (if the pay is right or the cause just) it is necessary to leave and fight the good fight.
The United Slavs does not support War under any circumstances. kind of funny because during the czech -hungarian war Ivan Hat wanted to continue till we owned all of hungary X[)
Jokes aside, I think Czechs should go out and get levels.
Times have changed Vaclav, and that was when we were IN war 😛
