During the Second World War, General Patton got all kinds of pissed off at Stars and Stripes because of,among other things, the cartoons of Bill Mauldin.
Some things don't change, for now the First Cavalry Division has barred a reporter from the Stars and Stripes because he was insufficiently cheerleady about what 1st Cav was doing in Iraq.
Guess, what, First Cav: Stars & Stripes isn't Красная звезда (Red Star). It never has been. Stars & Stripes is not a propaganda house for the DoD, the Army or any particular overly-full-of-himself general.
This is a bone-headed move and hopefully some really senior officer will helicopter into Mosul and administer some very well deserved dope slaps to the officers responsible.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Considering the mess we're in after 8 years of the jackass in charge I think Bill may have either been ahead of his time or my first remark is proven.
