The Pentagon announced Thursday an overhaul of the legendary U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes to shift it away from covering what it considers to be “woke distractions.”

First published during the Civil War, Stars and Stripes is written to both inform and speak for American troops, and fiercely guards its editorial independence, which is guaranteed by Congress, despite operating inside the Defense Department.

In a post, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the publication — which has print and online editions across the world — world be returning to “its original mission: reporting for our warfighters.”

“We are bringing Stars & Stripes into the 21st century. We will modernize its operations, refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon [sic] morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members,” he said in the post, which was endorsed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

4. Bingo!

These magabillies are so hopped up on hatred and “war fighting” they have become a sick joke, a parody of everything they claim to be.
One has to wonder at what point their collective stupidity and wanton ignorance will culminate into the demise of our nation.
I fear we are almost there.

5. So, they don't want it to carry actual news.

Like, for instance, a group of legislators posting a letter directed at the military instructing them to not follow illegal orders. Or the illegal acts being committed by ICE.
The U.S. gov't. will decide 100% of the information you should get, eventually.

6. So, someone who can't even spell

is telling writers and editors what to print.

I loathe these people.

7. The old editions will be edited. Wait and see.
