| Message | This is pretty much a butchered version of our bill. |
| Date | 17:51:22, May 20, 2007 CET | From | Latter-Day Saints Party | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | This is an unneccessary act. |
| Date | 17:57:39, May 20, 2007 CET | From |  RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | Is it? We are opposed to not allowing the military to come to the police's assistance in times of serious emergencies. You refused to split that article off and create a new bill for it. Therefore, we have introduced this bill. |

| Message | I'd like to apologise to the honourable members of this assembly for forgetting to add a proper description. |
| Date | 18:19:01, May 20, 2007 CET | From | Latter-Day Saints Party | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | So, you are in favor of turning this fair nation into a police state? |
| Date | 18:52:13, May 20, 2007 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | Allowing the military to support the police in case of nationwide rioting, or allowing the military to help the police to secure an area in case of a terrorist attack with chemical or biological weapons, is not turning the Commonwealth into a police state. Nor is allowing the military to help the police with, for instance, distributing sandbags in the event of flooding. |
| Date | 22:15:32, May 20, 2007 CET | From | Latter-Day Saints Party | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | You only wish to use the military for your personal benefit in the off chance you gain total power again. |
| Date | 23:19:42, May 20, 2007 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | That allegation is absurd. |
| Date | 23:35:45, May 20, 2007 CET | From | Latter-Day Saints Party | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | No, it is extremely true. |
| Date | 17:35:54, May 21, 2007 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | No rational arguments? |
| Date | 20:22:26, May 21, 2007 CET | From | Latter-Day Saints Party | To | Debating the Alternative Military Act 2407 |
| Message | Since my bill, the Second Military Act, which included this article, has passed already, this bill is irrelevant. We must vote against this bill. |
