| Message | These actions will create a better streamlined military, more suited to defend us if we are forced to go to war. We do not advocate war, just preparation for it so that we may always remain free. |

| Message | But, military industries controled by political opponents could weaken the military if they refuse to supply us with the necessary materials. |
| Date | 06:00:31, February 19, 2006 CET | From | Beluzian Defense and Federalist Party | To | Debating the Draft Bill |
| Message | But with a large defense industrial complex with lots of competition, political opponents who refused to sell the military supplies would lose money and go bankrupt. More competition would only improve the quality of our weapons. |

| Message | We support safety by sending soliders into areas that will kill them. What is better: To live under the iron fist of another nation, or die defending your country. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! -Patrick Henry |
| Date | 04:24:58, February 20, 2006 CET | From | LiberalDemocraticFreedomTaxAndSpendParty | To | Debating the Draft Bill |

| Date | 06:54:35, February 20, 2006 CET | From | Beluzian Fascist Party | To | Debating the Draft Bill |
| Message | We are only forcing people to defend their nation in a time of great national need. If they do not give up this liberty they might very well lose them all. |
