| Message | It only applies during war time - which, by definition, would not be a peaceful time. If the standing army is not enough to withstand an enemy or are sustaining major casualties, we need to find reinforcements from somewhere. Having this policy in place means we can act swiftly if the need ever arises. Colonel Octavius Black Defence Secretary |
