Hello out there, War College listeners, this is Matthew.

I want to apologize up front.

I've been traveling a lot the past month and I've had time to record episodes but

just not enough time to edit them together.

We're sitting on a great conversation about the online defenders of

dictators, a walk through the small arms of the Syrian Civil War with caliber Obscura, and a look at the likelihood of the end of the world and which form it might take. But I just got off one flight and I'm about to board another. So in the meantime, with everything going on in Syria right now, I wanted to revisit two episodes from earlier this year about the Civil War, the

Revolution, and the Kurds. They're both important. They're both at valuable

context to what's happening today and they were recorded before I was

mastering the audio properly so I've done that and they should sound much nicer

now than they did when they originally aired. Thanks for bearing with us, and I will talk to you next week,

I promise.

Stay safe until then.

I don't think the war is over I think the revolution is over I think when you see people

going back to the government held areas because they're sick of the war and because they're sick of the poverty.

I mean I'm not saying that like the government areas are perfect but I'm just

saying that kind of the government gave them the option. It's either stability or freedom and chaos and

so of course people will choose the stability. You're listening to War College, a weekly podcast that brings you the stories from behind the

front lines.
