So they say, but as with their other claims, it is difficult to believe. I have heard they have little control over the machine they use to bring people here. They do not even know who they are enslaving. How then do they presume to change history in such a way that the end result is exactly what they envision? Who is to say their meddling will not strengthen their enemies or give rise to others? Who is to say it will not have serious consequences, either for this place or for our lands? How do they know what precisely they should do to alter the past favorably, and how can they expect us to see out their plans when they assemble us at random?

... Even if they have some means of ensuring their victory, and against all odds no harm will come of it, that does not justify how they are building their army.

[There his tirade comes to a grudging end. For all that he is against the Initiative, he doesn't consider himself against those who would help them. That is their choice. But after the events of the past two weeks, he finds so much more fault in what their captors do. Griping and grumbling up a storm.]

I have only been witness to the last two missions so I cannot say for certain if they do or not. It seemed as though everyone was made to attend the missions, but I did not see the Initiative force participation in the tasks given to us. Still, many people were put at risk simply in being transported to mission locations.
