| Message | The army is now run under democratic principlies and will remain so as per the grand tradition that is the Armed Forces of the UKBB. Also under this proposal, defense industries would be run by the government which is run by the people. Also while private industries are run by individuals and corporations, also remember the industries are nothing without the unions and the workers that support the industry and the government. |

| Message | The armies purpose, as the President sees it, is to maintain security, whether that be international or domestic. The principles of the army are secondary to its success and strength. The President, as the communist party has so often pointed out, is supreme commander of the armed forces. The Captains policy is to leave the control of the army in the hands of the Defense Minister, unless war is declared. |
