You: “Stars And Stripes” played a major role in breaking stories about living conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln earlier this summer. Me: Okay. That explains it all. I have no more questions.

Hopefully that editor will have an even better job in 2029 or 2030 when Pete Hegseth is in prison garb standing trial for murdering fishermen in the Caribbean.

They hide a whole lot of the things they do but don’t want anyone knowing what they’re doing. Not a single person in this administration is a good honest person! They are all a corrupt selfish cold blooded bunch of liars.

The Acting SecNav called USS Lincoln concerns 'dishonest' — same week he'd heard those concerns from military spouses at a town hall. The President said families weren't complaining, then confirmed: the ship is being replaced. https://www.thebluf.news/p/uss-lincoln-deployment-denial-replacement

They weren't making much more sense at the top on the bottle. Me thinks alcohol alone is not so much the problem here.

You also had the opportunity to hear Deutsche Welle radio. They are broadcasting since 1953.

Trump said publicly that he wanted his generals to have unquestionable loyalty to him like Hitler did. Hegseth made sure it happened. www.nytimes.com/2022/08/08/u...

Ah, Theres the “insubordination”. Truth telling.

The only thing the Military owes Pete Hegseth is a few dozen code reds!

LOL are people really this stupid that he couldn't see this coming? THIS is why America is where it is. People too stupid to see their democracy disappearing. Continuing to act as if nothing was wrong until it kicks THEM in the face personally.

It was not the telling of the neglect that requires firing. It is the POTUS & SECDEF who created this mess.

I guess this is Pete's Scandal to cover up!! What a dangerous circus lead by a clown and is followed by clowns! It's sad!!

Sadly, I think it's going to be up to military members' families to alert the world about the problems and deficiencies. The problem is how to find an outlet that will publish or broadcast their concerns. We've seen the awful, huge thumb squash or try to squash some outlets. Keep talking!

🤬

Isn't this just another version of the administration trying to punish senators for reminding soldiers not to follow illegal orders-- which is part of their OATH!

The author who broke the story was just fired for insubordination. She said I work for Stars & Stripes, not the Pentagon. What else are writers too afraid to share? Trump's America, aka 😏 Russia

It's a wonder Kegsbreath hasn't moved to have S&S closed down for good, since its operation is overseen inside the DOD.

Stars and Stripes outted Kegsbreath on poor conditions on the Abraham Lincoln so they fire the editor, chicken shits can’t man up. The editor was a woman.

The unbrain thinks killing the messenger kills the message.🤷‍♂️

And the Republican majority in Congress, which doesn't care about anything, won't care about this, either.

This is a full frontal attack on free press! The military is outraged as well as the hundreds of millions of civilian supporters like me.

Somebody HAS to stand up to tyranny!!!!!

The amount of deaths that have been covered up by the Trump admin. Lincoln being targeted by Iranians which caused such chaos on board.Constant lies. Lack of successful trade deals. Cost of living around the world. These should be headlines daily. @theguardian.com @financialtimes.com @thetimes.com

Remove trump and his awful adminstration. Americans have had enough.

And the clown couldn’t handle the truth 😡😡🤡🤡🤡

Truth

The truth must be hidden. Fascism 101.

…not to be confused with puttanesca.

No fascist and authoritarian regime has ever accepted a free press, including the present administration. The truth is their enemy.

Hegseth is a screwup. He is likely a traitor to his military. He is only interested in keeping his job, which he is mentally unable to do

If kegsbreath cannot stand the heat maybe he should resign… That would be the best move for all concerned.

After fires him?

No breathing for Kegbreath. Off with his head!

Just another reason for active military and veterans to hate him and for the military to refuse his orders.

The label "socialists and Marxists in the U.S." hides what it really is: social, Christian, and humane. But big money hates that with a passion.

Trump & Hegseth want to control ALL the media…now, it’s”Stars & Stripes”…without a reason they fire Editor-in-Chief!

So sad, this is really going on

Hegseth shows his weakness with this move. What a pathetic individual. Testosterone replacement can't cure this character flaw.

This criminal regime can't stand being exposed for their incompetence, criminality, and abuse.

I don’t know. Anybody who joined the military while Trump was president does not deserve any sympathy. They knew what they were getting into.

Finding someone to lie to the troops may not be too difficult for hegseth, but it won't save his bacon when the truth comes out, and it will!

Given everything else, I'm amazed it took them this long to get around to Stars and Stripes I just hope when this is finally over, we figure a way to get all those terminated their rightful benefits

No wonder they’re gone. Welcome to trumps Freedom of Speech program.

I'm afraid that are brave people in the Military aren't being reported on correctly. They are suffering and the Republicans aren't concerned. What happened to the party

Such vindictive little pricks.

😒😒

Truth!!!

* Men of Mt. Rushmore *

They both lie on national TV about the war. No one believes anything they say. Which is the point. 👆🏼👀🧐😳😵‍💫🤮👀👆🏼imho

*has

NOT TO MENtION OVER 700 service members Killed or wounded because of the incompetent of the Secretary of Losing Wars.

Canada is not likely to help.

Come lon! Hegseth is an ally. He was a former fill In for crap fake “news” on Fox weekends. He was hired by YOU KNOW WHO , djt Now you know why the absolute TRAGEDY is happening 24/7, all the time.

Wow! that’s a lot of hiding.💰 are those stats from Stars & Stripes?

Who's got the upper hand?

Donald Trump has single handedly crippled the United States' ability to wage war in the middle east. Mussolini tried. Hitler tried. Saddam tried. Afghanistan tried. Only Trump managed to cripple the US military for YEARS and cost the US taxpayers trillions.

Tell the people whose Medicaid is cut, that the US-instigated war in the Middle East has cost trillions so far.

Funny how the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world is still outpaced by a classic newsletter. Turns out the ultimate disruptor isn't an algorithm; it's just someone with a pen and a grudge.

Insubordination in essence means failure to yield to authority. It doesn’t mean fire anyone for any damn reason you want. 

Let’s clean up the military. Fire Hegseth and impeach Trump. Where’s that 25th Amendment.

Of course they will, they hate the truth.

Let's put the Drunk in charge of the Department of War Crimes on a boat without food or water for a few weeks and see what happens.

Pathetic‼️😡

This Administration--and particularly this SecDef--does not respect the Constitution, the troops, or give a flip about either.

Hegseth believes morale in our voluntary armed forces is being supported more by testosterone testing and less by treating our military as thinking individuals.

Hegseth still won’t be able to maintain the cover-up…

I’m worried about censorship in America under this unhinged regime

Hopefully the former and remaining staff of Star & Stripes makes their own military news service. If the 'official' service can't be trusted to inform and support the troops, it is worse than useless.

The most anti free speech administration in history Period

Military families are not stupid and won't believe Hegseth's propaganda.

Forbes should be worried about a proofreader.

This mess makes you wonder how many members of the military will continue to vote for RepubliKLANS!

When will rumps terror regime be stopped?

The ghost of Ernie Pyle is turning over in his hallowed grave.

Just eliminate bad news and show butterflies! They must think most Americans are robots! Just program ourselves to think theirs no war! Economy at its highest! Inflation doesn’t exist! Climate change isn’t real. Our president isn’t corrupt and a rapist. Just misunderstood. mark “X” if robot.

The law suit here will be massive. The settlement likely record breaking. But most jaw dropping will be the revelations that former employees forced from their jobs will now share with the American people. It is hard to be this stupid and be the Secretary of Defence at the same time.

He needs to write a massive story about Kegbreath's utter incompetence and h war-crimes. 🤷‍♀️

Ah, WHAT would make him think that?

The Republican kleptocracy has no regard for the Constitution.

The military is the United States most important factor without it this administration would not exist This administration needs to know its place and needs to understand our men and women are the USA backbone

Pete got his 'feels' hurt... just another day in the life of stupid.

So of course its editor was fired.

He's such a lightweight.

The editor should be concerned & so do the 5000 sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Will they be sworn to secrecy regarding what they've endured? I'm sure there will be some rules to prohibit them talking to the press. trump and Whiskey Pete will do anything to continue the ruse of all's well.

Is trump against mail in voting to stop military from voting? Hmmmm

TRUMP AND HEGSETH CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Freedom of the press was so important to a democracy that our founders put it in the first amendment. In case anyone forgot where we are at this moment.

🐽seth needs to be held accountable for his inept disastrous actions!

What does that have to do with anything? Christ you people just can't stop being stupid, can you?

So that’s why they’re doing this

You wouldn't be having the soldiers who were on the carrier starving to sign non disclosures if there was nothing to hide. Orange felon #presidentpedophile can only be trusted to tell the opposite of what actually is going on.

The #BUSINESS of WAR, " You think you are dying for your country; you die for #bankers. "- BlackRock Let's #DESTROY work & economy > REQUISITION #ABOLISH Police/Army & POLITICAL PARTIES > DECOLONIZATION - EMANCIPATION

It’s censorship

Why wasn’t the incompetent captain brought before a court martial for insubordination long ago?

Is "Hegseth" a ghost/not a word? Or was it someone else? I mean, that is not a complete sentence.

That would be glorious in the extreme

Time to frag Hegseth? I mean..... accidents happen.

Aren’t they already being censored by not telling the naval personnel that bases were blown up and that’s why they couldn’t make the critical stops to refuel and restock?

Retaliation is see

Welcome to fascism, folks.

Those that adamantly defend the 2nd amendment seems to have no regard for the 1st. Conservatives = Hypocrites

Fire Hegseth Now! He has destroyed the Military! We are sitting ducks!!!

It is disgusting and embarrassing that he chooses To continually attack Canada! Tarrifs are increasing prices for Americans it is causing our Economy to fail! Congress must start doing their jobs!’

Stars and Stripes should have recognized his many faults earlier. Now denounce him and this regime.

DICTATORS, WANNABE DICTATORS, and their mini-me's all hate a free press, and free thinkers...before the Iran War they should have considered the words of GEN Barrow, USMC, 1980: "Amateurs talk about strategy and tactics. Professionals talk about logistics and sustainability in warfare."

Reporting on what’s happening on the USS Abraham Lincoln is a woke distraction? These people have no shame.
