This issue of The Weekly Standard focused heavily on the Syria crisis, with multiple contributors—including Frederick Kagan, Fred Barnes, Gary Schmitt, Lee Smith, and Reuel Marc Gerecht—offering varying perspectives on U.S. intervention and Obama's foreign policy. The cover feature, "The Last 24 Notes" by Matt Labash, profiled Tom Day and volunteer buglers who play "Taps" at veterans' funerals across America, providing a poignant counterpoint to the magazine's foreign policy debate.
