"Kalau prajurit TNI sudah tidak memiliki disiplin maka kamu sama saja dengan Banser, hal itu akan sangat membahayakan karena prajurit TNI dilengkapi senjata. Tidak ada lagi yang main-main dengan Permildas. Tidak ada yang dikurangi. Tegakkan disiplin. Tegakkan itu Permildas," kata Jenderal TNI Moeldoko saat inspeksi mendadak di Batalyon Infanteri (Yonif) 752/Vira Yudha Sakti di Jl Basuki Rahmat Km 10, Kabupaten Sorong Papua Barat, Senin.
