Pete Hegseth doesn’t want you to see cartoons in this newspaper anymore. And loyal readers of Stars and Stripes are hopping mad. You don’t mess with Sunday color comics.
The secretary of defense/war, through a March 9 memorandum and interim policy by Deputy Stephen Feinberg, “prohibited” Stars and Stripes from using “news stories, features, syndicated columns, comic strips and editorial cartoons from commercial news media.” The word “prohibited” was put in boldface for emphasis by the Pentagon, not by me.
The memo ordered Stripes to “immediately” begin implementing the “guidance.”
