Message | We support treating PWs according to the Laloquon Conventions wholeheartedly: but what business has the civilian government interfering in the recruitment policies of the Holy Imperial Forces? |

Message | Combat effectiveness should be the primary concern: not political correctness. We should leave operational matters in the hands of those who know their trade best. |

Message | The government is not a servant for the people!!! The government's primary task is to defend the nation and for that we need an elite army. The Armed Forces must not be objects for a socialistic political instrument, it is to important for that. Leave the Royal Army to us, Union of the Useless. |
