A Short Address To The Nation

"America has gone to shit and I'm here to fix it". General Dwight Payne loves his country so much he's going to "grab it by the scruff of the neck and knock some sense into it." The country is mired in foreign wars, local riots and incompetence is the default setting. But like a modern day Julius Caesar, General Payne has the answers. And he's going to spell them out in Capital Letters. Now you - as citizens and media - you'll also be able to ask him questions after his... Short Address To The Nation.
