Sir H is a member here too. IMVHO, in the RDverse 2024, this would have been released too. Just as stuff from the SWW has been.

There’s no reason for something like that to remain secret, with in RL, or the RDverse.

Would Paul X. Kelley, who was Commandant of the United States Marine Corps from July 1, 1983, to June 30, 1987 in OTL not remain until the war end, for the sake of continuity.

I think he died in the DC nuke, and General Gray stepped up as Commandant of the Corps.

Which depending on who you ask it was either the thing or the worst thing that happened to the Corps in the war.

Possibly the worst thing to happen to the Corps was Gray being confirmed for a full tour as Commandant of the Marine Corps…

Early on, he reminded us that we were Marines, bred for war--but even then he pissed people off needlessly.

During his full tour, he displayed some toxic behaviors that did a lot of damage to the Corps.

Sometimes, we had a love-hate relationship with him--as in we loved AND hated him simultaneously.

One of the threads on the old board dealt with pro sports during and after the war; the question of the pro sports leagues during and immediately after the war has come up on "the other board." If anyone was able to save it, please, a repost here would be most welcome.
The difference between diplomacy and war is this: Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so elegantly that they pack for the trip.
War is bringing hell down on that someone.

I'm still working the details on Sophie's next moves in Vegas and her going forward to Sheppard.

Part of it is she's going to get a bit of an ass-chewing from General O'Neil.

Good to know. Maybe some of the stuff currently on the Other Board could be posted here to tide us over? At the very least “Finis: The End in Brownsville” would keep us busy until the BOLO II stuff is ready.

Iran and Syria are definitely hostile to the U.S. (and its Gulf State allies, Israel, Egypt, etc.). As is Afghanistan (ruled by the Taliban since the Soviet pullout TTL).

Nicaragua is generally friendly: Remember that Daniel Ortega (the Sandinista leader) his brother, and many of their top officials posed for rifle fire after the 1995 Coup that overthrew the regime.
