A New Deal for the nation

In a radio transmitted speech today, the leader announced what he called a "Social Revolution". Over the next hour, he laid out a system of reforms that touch every part of social life, promising every returning soldier an education, a well-paying job and a generous pension. He also announced a major building program for affordable housing for young families, to begin the day an armistice is signed. This appears to have had a significant effect on general morale. Recruitment offices across the country report conscripts appearing and asking about options to extend their service beyond the current conflict, with others all but demanding a posting to frontline units to ensure extra benefits.
