Stars and stripes

A discussion about Stars and Stripes that brings news to military personnel and their families overseas in times of urgency is presented. It falls under the auspices of U.S. Department of Defense, operates in many ways like a commercial paper, but is charged with getting uncensored news to the military and Department of Defense employees wherever they serve overseas. During the war in Iraq, copies of the paper were delivered to a central spot where military officials picked them up along with their supplies and took them deep into the country.
