Description
The war against Islamic Jihadism is defining generations. It was our father’s war, it’s our war, and will most likely be our children’s war. The FDD' s Long War Journal team has been researching and reporting for over two decades on the jihadists fueling this terror. “Generation Jihad” features LWJ Editors Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss as they diagnose the black and white motivations behind the world’s most notorious terrorists, report on their expanding malign activities, and offer their prescriptions for confronting the multi-generational menace that is Islamic Jihadism.

Academic analysis of terrorist organizations and intelligence coups in the same episode with juvenile dick jokes. This is what I listen to Generation Jihad for. You just can't get that anywhere else. 😉
I served 3 tours in Afghanistan and as the leader of my unit I looked Afghan Intel sources, translators, tribal/village leaders, and others who worked with us directly in the eye and told them that if the time ever came we'd get them out. The level of guilt and shame I feel knowing that many of those I have my word to were left behind to be killed or live in hiding and constant fear cannot be overstated. The US failed and betrayed these people. Period.
Awesome episode! I've been eating up Ali's Iran analysis since I came across his scholarship a while back and I think he's the first person who has provided extended analysis on the IRGC's strategy, politics, and motivations that I came away in total agreement with. His work really increased my insight into certain facets of Iranian politico-military decision making.
Bill Roggio for Congress. I'm with you on this, bro.
Just in case Bill reads this, Biden says they have contracted a PMC to run security and be the distribution link at the pier so that US troops don't have to set foot on land. This whole concept is poorly conceived and will benefit the US and Israel in no way. Aside from Biden's reelection campaign, that is. How long before the US presidency returns to being a principled office that isn't run by the whims of daily political optics?
"I'd still throw it on to get involved. The govt doesn't want to protect our own and that's shameful." Same here Roggio. I have never been more disappointed in my country than the day that our govt's/Biden's "unequivocal" support became an excuse to take Hamas' side and put pressure on Israel to stop. If terrorists invaded a US state and massacred 20k to 30k people, no one would be able to dictate to the US how to conduct our military response or when to stop...
