Happy Veteran’s Day from Small Wars Journal

One year ago today, on Veterans Day 2024, we relaunched Small Wars Journal under Arizona State University’s Future Security Initiative. The timing was deliberate. We choose this day to honor service, sacrifice, and the enduring commitment to understand the character of conflicts.

In the past year, our authors, readers, and partners have rebuilt SWJ into a thriving forum for professional discourse, with half a million monthly page views, tens of thousands of active readers, and a growing community that continues to challenge assumptions and advance ideas.

🔱 To our veterans, thank you for your service, and for continuing the fight to think critically and write honestly.

🔱 To our contributors and readers, thank you for keeping the small wars conversation alive and relevant.

Here’s to the next year with sharp minds, open hearts, strong voices, and the pursuit of a powerful discourse in complex times.

Sincerely, The Small Wars Journal Team
