Pentagon Orders Shutdown of ‘Stars and Stripes’

USA Today: “In a heretofore unpublicized memo, the Pentagon delivered an order to shutter the Stars and Stripes, a newspaper that has been a lifeline and a voice for American troops since the Civil War.”

“The memo orders the publisher of the news organization (which now publishes online as well as in print) to present a plan that ‘dissolves the Stars and Stripes by Sept. 15 including ‘specific timeline for vacating government owned/leased space worldwide.'”
