  • Please improve your tone

    I’m giving this 3 stars because I support the Long War Journal and think everyone involved here does important work. But gentlemen, the tone has gotten absolutely unbearable. They guy who said “ever heard of Google” in the most recent episode is a child. You’re not funny and no one is listening to this to hear your jokes. Why can’t you just be professional and soberly address issues like an adult?

Israel’s decapitation strike in Yemen
Q: Is this type of action going to increase or decrease the likelihood of an escalation by the Houthis?
