Yeah, if we could just fix the star quality I think we would be good to go.
Glad to know you made it. Let's hope things will be uneventful during your deployment.
Howdy!
Hope things are well for you there. What is your MOS? I don't remember if I've already asked you that.
Questions on Spain
While I wait here in Bagram, I have been thinking about Spain's role in the TL. Spain, along with Portugal, have been largely ignored in this TL and I would like to fill the gaps. Again, I apologize for often wanting to go back and fill in the details instead of writing new updates but as you can imagine I am a little short on time nowadays. Anyways, what we now so far in the time line is this.
1875: Queen Isabella is forced from the throne and Spain is ruled by a military Junta.
1877-1878: Spanish-American War. America is victorious and Spain loses Cuba and Porto Rico. Following the war, Spain's ruling Junta is overthrown and Spain descends into Civil War.
1879: The newly formed Spanish Republican government sells the Philippines to France.
Afterwards there is no mention of Spain until the Great War when it is mentioned that Spain is again a monarchy and a deeply conservative one at that. As of 1951 Spain has only one overseas possession in the western Sahara. This leaves a lot of blank space. What would y'all think if in the ensuing chaos of the 1880's the Carlists come to power? How would a Carlist Spain differ from OTL?

Probably Carlist could get power. Spain might be more conservative as OTL. But what then? I haven't any idea. One possible is that Isabella II's son Alfonso (OTL king Alfonso XII) founds Alfonsian movement which supports constitutional monarchy.
About Portugal I can't say anything.
What do y'all think of using one of these two flags for Spain in the TL? Should a coat of arms be added?
Agreed. Let's see with Coat of Arms; I think it looks pretty good as is.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say that despite not having the time to make any new posts here in Afghanistan this TL is still very much alive and I think about it often. I would be interested in y'all's opinons on what form you think 1950's American pop culture should take?
Cheers!
