WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of 15 U.S. senators are calling on the Pentagon to continue funding for the Stars and Stripes publication, an editorially independent military newspaper that began during the Civil War, which may be forced to stop publishing by the end of the month.A letter dated Sept.
2 to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper states that the “historically significant” publication only represents a “tiny fraction” of the department’s annual budget, yet cutting it “would have a significantly negative impact on military families.”Stars and Stripes receives $15.5 million in federal funding to print and distribute newspapers to troops around the world, which accounts for about half of the publication’s annual spending.
