"I trust the Legion. Maybe not the entire support staff, but the leadership of the team knows what they're doing." They're weird to him, yes, but they're competent and genuine. They've fought beside him and, though the Legion has mission-complicating views on what's acceptable, their ideals mostly align with the Chief's. He can work with them.
His feelings about the UP... well. He's never been in tight with actual government. It's distant, in many ways unknowable, but predictable in its consequences. The politicians take care of their own affairs first and foremost. Whether that's their world's interests or their own at the top is down to individuals, but it all tends to hash out to the same thing by the time it reaches the Chief.
"I trust the UP to maintain peace because it's easier than the alternative. They'll punish injustice if it's loud and obvious enough. But it's a peacetime civillian government. No personal experience, but a peacetime government's just a wartime government without alien genocide to force hands."
