There is a horrific humanitarian crisis occurring in Yemen and has been for years.  Kris attempts to take a complicated history as to why this war has been going on, who started it and why--and break it down so we all can understand it, kinda.  There is an unprecedented amount of people starving to death, malnourished children and lack of clean water and basic medical supplies.  Please listen and consider contributing to one of the organizations below.  Kris then finishes the episode trying to lighten the mood with a fairly unknown story of a Californian war that went on just as WWI was winding down.
