It’s starting to look as if both Brians may have jumped to a conclusion. It seems that it wasn’t Trump who ordered the SAS shut down, that it was an internal Defense Department move.
If it WAS Trump’s idea, it just means that backlash works.

Trump sucks big time but that title is too dramatic.

That's why I pointed out that this thread was started based on an opinion piece in USA Today.
The Irrational One got his panties in a wad over an opinion piece...and was simply chilled by it.
And right you were (I should have pointed out that you didn't take the bait).
37's one of those people who doesn't seem truly fulfilled unless he's in a panic over something.

What the actual fuck?
Getting rid of a redundant OBSOLETE bit of overhead is a BAD thing?
Heard of the internet?
You can't find news there?

Stars and Stripes had it's day. But it was NOT the free press. It was a moral booster - and run by "the powers that be". You did not get truth from S+S. You got Uncle Sam's distilled version. You got what they wanted you to get.

It was frequently the only news we got. Fun to read the circumlocutions during the Watergate Hearings.

It was often the only news I could get my hands on when I was stationed in Misawa. It had useful information and was something all services had in common. Glad they walked back on shutting it down.
