| Message | This is one of the few areas where I believe the state should be in charge. The security of the nation is at stake; private companies will sell off their weapons to the highest bidders; so we may be betrayed by the very economic system we are trying to defend. |

| Message | The state should run the army ... but the equipment should be provided by the only economic force that can actually get things done: PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. Government enterprise has universally and absolutely been shown to be inefficient, tardy, of poor quality, too expensive and downright dangerous to a nations well-being. NO. |
