Not with you on that one. Soldiers and their families are, were rather, represented in print. Not any more. What's that worth?

No more or less than any other demographic. If it's that important, someone can put up a website or find another publisher or something.

  Not saying whether this is a good idea or not, but soldiers on the front lines don’t always have internet, and, as such, can’t access internet news.

    I feel like if it was mission critical, they would find a way to make it work. Fund a print publisher through the black-ops budget, launch some wireless satellites or something. I also feel like they can do without, all else being equal. Not being able to read a magazine isn't the end of the world.

It was a naked propaganda rag. I have no idea why people care about this.

  You can look back and see where public sentiment may have been skewed to support a mission. Now you can't.

Absolutely nothing, to be honest. Let's not act like soldiers and their families are suddenly persona non grata because of this decision.

When I was in the service, Stars and Stripes was so censored that to call it journalism would be an overreach. It's not 1945 anymore. Being represented in print isn't worth much these days - especially by a propaganda rag.

  You could write a thing and send it to someone. Now what do you have?

    You could write a thing and send it to someone. I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason they want to shut it down.

    The US postal service? /s Are you saying that Stars and Stripes would deliver mail / messages to soldiers? I'd like to hear more of what you were saying.

      You could write a piece, submit it, and get it printed. Like any newspaper.
