War Department announces ‘Stars & Stripes’ overhaul

The Department of War on Thursday announced that it would overhaul the iconic military publication “Stars & Stripes” by shifting its content away from left-wing social issues and refocusing on military-specific initiatives.Founded in 1861, the publication began as a military newspaper and has covered every American military conflict since. It’s operations fall under the purview of the Pentagon.
“The Department of War is returning Stars & Stripes to its original mission: reporting for our warfighters.
We are bringing Stars & Stripes into the 21st century,” spokesman Sean Parnell announced. “We will modernize its operations, refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members.”
“Stars & Stripes will be custom tailored to our warfighters,” he added. “It will focus on warfighting, weapons systems, fitness, lethality, survivability, and ALL THINGS MILITARY. No more repurposed DC gossip columns; no more Associated Press reprints.
Stars & Stripes has a proud legacy of reporting news that’s important to our service members. The Department of War is committed to ensuring the outlet continues to reflect that proud legacy.”
The move follows the Trump administration scuttling much of the federal government’s public media operations, including by ending funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
