I concur with previous speakers. We had a magnanimous discussion on Second Stage, to which I contributed, and I am glad the legislation is about to be passed. We should understand the difficulties during the war and why people deserted to join other armies. On mature reflection, they did so to protect the world against anarchy, chaos and dictatorship and the passage of the legislation is well merited in that regard.
