They can and we should NOT be paying for it. I know you think you have a 'gotcha', but you really don't. No one thinks the Taxpayers should foot the bill for opinion-based information.yet, us tax payers still pay for Rush Limbaugh's Radio show overseas for the Military.....
can't they get him on their great internet service abroad?
I think You’re the clueless one. They have WiFi. Period. End of story. You’re also a Leftist.Why are you being such an ass? You are obviously clueless to Military life, so maybe you need to shut your know it all trap, and step back....?i'm a military brat dufus! I'm a military family member stationed overseas with their military father or military husband.... the Stars and Stripes was for the military and military families stationed overseas... the paper, made us all, feel closer to home and unified as American families.It’s we military and overseas is one word. You’re not in the military. You’re a lying Leftist. How dare you!?
I was not stationed with family overseas when the internet was prevalent or a daily routine.... it might have been non existent for laymen? Maybe things are different? But from what the soldiers say about it in the article, internet service is not available or lacking and those on battlefields do not always have service and I read they are not allowed to use their phones in many circumstances because we don't want them to be tracked by enemies via their phones....
I just think that if the Military guys and families overseas really want to keep the Stars and Stripes because it makes them feel more at HOME when they are serving overseas, no matter where, then maybe there is something else the Pentagon can cut?
And certainly with a near $800 Billion yearly budget for our total Defense budget, there is something else that is wasteful, to cut....
And as someone said earlier, Pelosi likely would not cut it in her budget if the military n families, still really want it....
So when stationed overseas do they or do they not have WiFi?
I doubt they all do and I know some cannot have or use their cells.
They have PCs there for them to use.
The Military guys and gals of today, seem to still want it, for all the reasons I listed and in addition, they said sitting down taking a break, with coffee or meal and paper, helps them relax and get their mind off of their duties and dangers...
The cell phone or internet, just doesn't give them that.... constant bombardment of ads, or social media, and having to scroll, and all that jazz when you can lay the paper on the table and eat or drink while you are reading....
You are in the Silicon Valley of the East, internet service is super duper fast and reliable.... there is no such thing for me up here in Maine, and I am in the USA, and you have absolutely no idea how frustrating and stressful it can get, just waiting for the gadget to move on to the next page, without freezing.... I don't think the Military and families, in most cases, have it any better than I do here, in the USA....
Care4all IS a brainwashed liberal lunatic. There's NO hope for this one.I think You’re the clueless one. They have WiFi. Period. End of story. You’re also a Leftist.Why are you being such an ass?

The Stars and Stripes was an important source of news for us in Viet Nam in the 60s. But now with the internet everyone stationed everywhere has instant access to plenty of news. The Stars and Stripes is just going the way of newspapers everywhere.trump's war on the media continues. Now it's Stars and Stripes. A paper read by about 1 million people. Probably mostly those in the military.
It's only 15 million dollars. It's so sad that trump is doing this. I hope that congress restores the funding.
Trump budget zeroes out funding for Stars and Stripes, the military's newspaper
Probably because the military papers are doing polls of military members showing trump's support beginning to fail.....trump's war on the media continues. Now it's Stars and Stripes. A paper read by about 1 million people. Probably mostly those in the military.

lol you people are too much. You’ll say anything to defend Trump. His dumbass cut the funding because his dumbass doesn’t know how to read.So based on your own math if you want to read it those million people can get it for 15 bucks a year.trump's war on the media continues. Now it's Stars and Stripes. A paper read by about 1 million people. Probably mostly those in the military.
It's only 15 million dollars. It's so sad that trump is doing this. I hope that congress restores the funding.

Hope he cuts NPR next.
AFARTS is still around? Cut it too.yet, us tax payers still pay for Rush Limbaugh's Radio show overseas for the Military.....
can't they get him on their great internet service abroad?
Veterans point to value of Stars and Stripes amid proposal to strip funding from news organization
I don't agree with this decision................it is a small budget expense for military serving overseas..........I used to get the paper at the exchange in Japan.....................Of course back then we didn't have the internet...........and it was a way of reading about issues back home.
Today with Social media..........not sure if it's necessary or not............but it isn't a large expense...........given the 6 Trillion we spent on killing our fellow man.
Stars and Stripes isn’t what it once was. They run anti-Trump articles all the time. I was appalled when I saw that, don’t recall them ever running negative stories on other commander-in-chiefs.
If you have never served don't assume what the members of the military think.Another right-wing attack on freedom of speech. And one that directly affects our military. So patriotic! Not.
We only have free speech if the government pays for it?
In general, no. The case of the members of our military services who are on duty around the world on our behalf is far different, and this move can very well be interpreted as the government trying to muzzle the free flow of information to them for political reasons.
"Thank you for your service, sheep."
Why would you want them to be fed information from a government paid for paper anyway?
Let's be fair to the Trump administration, whether one is a Dem or Republican or Socialist.
This is 2020, something that even this eightysomething acknowledges.
Print newspapers are as dead as the dodo bird. (What's the last time you sent something called a "telegram"?)
People simply no longer have the desire to touch paper each morning.
Everyone (with exceptions like me) now have some newfangled invention called a "smartphone." People are always staring at them as they almost bump into me on the sidewalk. So that's how the armed forces will get the Stars and Stripes.

I used to spend as much time as possible listening to the Armed Forces Radio. It helped me forget a lot of the bad things and still does today. But here is a story I think many of the Vietnam Vets will related to.
One of the programs was "Super Chicken". It was funny as hell and a very distinctive voice of Super Chicken. A bit of background, I am a musician and have a good ear for voices, sounds, etc.. Years later, I heard that same voice doing a news Broadcast out of Chicago. I was dumbfounded. And that voice was so unique that it was Super Chicken doing the news and I kept waiting for him to go off with the zany. he didn't, it was a straight news broadcast. That brought back some warm memories.
