MacArthur offers to lead the Government

With the government in full retreat and large parts of the country siding with the insurrection, General MacArthur has approached us with an offer. Pointing out that only he truly understands the American mindset and provide stability and leadership in this moment of crisis, MacArthur has offered to lead a 'Government of National Defense' until the insurrection has been defeated. According to MacArthur, this is to reduce friction between the civilian leadership and the military commanders by placing General MacArthur in charge. Some in the government are somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that he continues to refer to himself in the third person.
