Description[?]:
| Mr Sigmund Framer, Defense Minister As we cannot currently afford to maintain the current size of our Armed Forces, we hereby propose that all Armed Forces personnel be "rightsized". Please instruct your men to leave their equipment at base and go home immediately. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to pay their owed backwages or any severance. I know your lads are good, honest lads, so I expect that they will go home quietly, and refrain from stealing military equipment or engaging in any countryside banditry. It's imperative that you stress just how important it is that they behave morally, as we're not currently in any position to prevent or punish them for wrongdoings. Francis Garret Member of Federal Parliament, BZP |

| Message | Madame Speaker, It is bad enough that our police force has been dismantled. If the army is dismantled too, then what will be left to defend us from the forces of anarchy and disorder? The politicians support this are little better than criminals. Mrs. Bakisto Chairwoman of the Pensiuloj Alianco |
