3 Stars and Stripes staffers sue Pentagon over firings at military news outlet The recent firings of several employees from the Stars and Stripes publication have sent shockwaves through the world of national security reporting, threatening not only the freedom of the press but also the integrity of information Americans rely on to inform their opinions about war.
For 150 years, Stars and Stripes has been a trusted source of news for American service members stationed abroad.
Founded in 1861 as a newspaper for Union troops during the Civil War, it has since become a staple of military journalism, providing coverage of defense policy, military operations, and the human cost of war from the front lines.
