My plan, however, would be to keep these Indians under the care of officers of the army, stationed in their country; that what is given them be given by these officers, and that all citizens, agents and traders should, while among them, be subject to their (the officers') supervision and police regulations.
Dodge proposes that military officers should oversee interactions with Native Americans to ensure order and integrity.

Have you, or any one else, ever heard a single word of protest from these people or any one connected with them against the revolting cruelties of the enemy in the Philippines?
There is no officer listening to me who did not see cruelties in the Civil War.
It is the duty of every companion here, as well as of every good citizen, to enter his protest against these unjust attacks.
I must say this is the first time I ever heard of national honor being sustained by such methods.
