.......Love, Fear, and Knowledge are the most powerful tools on the planet, for from them flow power, truth, justice, respect, equality, discipline, and society itself. These are the building blocks of utopia, and when cultivated by humans for the benefit of humans, they create a perfect existence. Although the Urban Assault Forces is not yet the "best of possible worlds" as described by Candide and his master Pangloss in Voltaire's "Candide," though the growth, harvest, and implementation of this trifecta of a perfect society, we can become such a utopia.
--
.......Now, there are many arguments amongst representatives of these building blocks (or should I say "blox") that attempt to make one more necessary than the others. However, each aspect requires the others to keep it in balance and vice versa. Romantics often feel that fear is too corruptible, and is used only to control and manipulate others from the inside. Fear, on the contrary, is needed to create discipline, order, and motivation. Those who value knowledge above all else say that love is not a real concept, rather a primordial instinct that is felt between those in mutual pact with one another. I believe that love is the feeling of trust, camaraderie, and agreement that occurs between friends working towards the same thing. Lastly, those who believe Fear is a superior facet of society may conclude that allowing the populace to have access to certain facts (or allowing them free knowledge) usurps the power and order that fear gives to the leading party. Thus, each of these parts of society must be present and equal for a flawless world.
--
.......In UAF, I believe the presence of love felt between members is one unparalleled in any other society in any clan. The love which I am referring is not the "hearts and roses and kissing" sort of thing that comes to mind, rather a platonic, philosophical brotherhood. There is a strong nationalistic, patriotic spirit among members. All high ranks are friends, and member disputes are few and far between. Every new soldier I meet is excited and ready to serve our Motherland alongside his or her comrades.
--
.......Fear in the Urban Assault Forces is utilized and present in a way that is strong, but could be stronger. Fear in any society works in two ways between the ruling peoples and the peoples ruled. The rulers should fear the populace enough that they do not form corrupt tendencies and act only for the good of the populace. Meanwhile, the People should fear and respect their superiors enough so that they will follow commands given, know that they are to listen with attentiveness and act with honor for high ranks, and fear punishment or expatriation so that they do not act in ways contrary to the directions and teachings of the Motherland. Fear, however, could be exercised more with respect to that of the high ranks. I believe that, although our current high ranks are void of corruption, corruption could easily spread throughout the ruling class of UAF due to the lack of fear of the people as described above. The ability to remove/demote a high rank every six weeks or so could add in extra motivation for HRs to make good decisions about our Motherland. (NOTE: Such votes would not be mandatory, and the People could be given a decision of whether to remove an existing HR or vote to Promote a mid rank to a higher ranking position.)
--
.......Knowledge and its availability in the society of the Urban Assault Forces is not where it should be. Low Ranks (new recruits especially) are often unaware of events in UAF and how it functions. When I first entered, I hadn't the foggiest of ideas what we were to do at trainings and raids, and to whom I was to inquire about certain departments of our society. I was lucky enough to have a friend (current Colonel Lionblaze1212) to guide me through the daily procedures of the Motherland, but many newbies are not so fortunate. Although the "Urban Courier" newsletter attempts to notify the populace of the goings on in the closed world of the ruling party, it often excludes key information about projects and decisions made by high ranks. For example, I had to personally ask DiscoHeaven about the difference between the UAF City and our new fort, which project it is (for I have heard the names Garnet, Grotte de Glace, and Sapphire II all in the past month and heard different descriptions of each), and basic aspects of its construction. When I did ask, he was very kind with speech and gladly gave me the information I sought. However, I believe that only if HR decisions are made available to the public(simple bits of information like "Ignitos and False votes 'Yes,' DH, Blox, and tbarpo voted 'No.'") can the Urban Assault Forces be able to prosper beyond the point that we have now. I also have decided that Low Ranks should be able to voice their opinions with more freedom (If one does not like a recently made decision, one should be able to debate with HRs without being called argumentative) and question HRs as to why they made that motion. To solve the problem of new recruits' lack of knowledge of UAF, special pre-organized orientation events, meet-and-greets, or simple trainings at Kopervich (as a practice for defending) could be held to make them feel immediately welcomed into the society of our Motherland.
--
.......In conclusion, I shall state my belief that the Urban Assault Forces is a great organization that has already built on the ideas of Love, Fear, and Knowledge and has harvested from them balanced power, clear truth, unbiased justice, firm respect, near total equality, and great discipline. However, improvements will forever need to be made- Fear of the power of the populace from HRs, knowledge given to commoners versus rulers, and the means needed to receive this information must be bettered for the continuation of excellence and the gargantuan strides we will make made towards a utopian world. I know we can achieve this-all we must do is believe, work towards our goals, and remember how we got there-through sweat and blood and tears and strain, we will have made it to utopia on the shoulders of the titans before us. We can become a perfect society. All we have to do to start our journey is to take the first step.

how does it feel to know that you wrote this all out, that the grader will probably not read it all, and your efforts will ultimately gain you nothing more than a promotion at best

However Pie, the latest edition of the Urban Courier does distinguish the City and the fort clearly.

Yes, I noticed. However, I still noticed confusion upwards of three weeks ago.

@ALMEC, aren't you busy ragequiting every group you join or something?
