Description[?]:
| The Nation's military is a disgrace. If the Sekouo people are to realize they're destiny then they must have a strong military. A military without the machinations of the liberal state. Being shackled to international treaties that tell us how to police our people is an affront to the sovereignty of our nation and, Having our sole source of arms be provided by non-government forces (who are not subsidized) reeks of laissez-faire neoliberalism. |

| Message | Kokujin Shakai is willing to remove or change some proposals to get The government to start building and maintaining a network of shelters across the nation in case of an attack by foreign or internal elements. The local authorities should not be the sole arbiter over whether someone has a safe place to retreat to in case of a nuclear attack. |

| Message | We do not see how opposing a treaty preserving the rights of those who serve to protect Sekouo will be better for our military policy. Nor do we see how Article 3 has any relevance to this agenda. Creating a police state is not the answer to increase our defense. |
| Date | 03:24:47, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Defense Reform Act November 4557 |
| Message | Maintaining the purity of the Sekowon Military is paramount to our nation's defense. This liberal government should not have the right to decide who the military decides to enlist. |
