I guess it was only a matter of time…

Defense Department says military newspaper Stars and Stripes must eliminate 'woke distractions'

The Pentagon said Thursday that it is changing the independent military newspaper Stars and Stripes so it concentrates on “reporting for our warfighters” and no longer includes “woke distractions.”

That message, in a social media post from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s spokesman, is short on specifics and does not mention the news outlet’s legacy of independence from government and military leadership. It comes a day after The Washington Post reported that applicants for jobs at Stars and Stripes were being asked what they would do to support President Donald Trump’s policies.

Feds have to fund Basic Training, AIT, AT and UTA's.
Anything out of state is discretionary.
Ex, mid 90's, SF Command developed a certification process. 19th Group refused to play using the Guard Card.
MG Davis withheld their COBRA GOLD funding.
Reverse Guard Card.
They relented. LOL.
Same process, NGB doesn't have to release funding for ops or exercises.

Trump can also Federalize the Guard (LBJ did that with the AR Guard when desegregation was being blocked in Little Rock, Arkansas ).

So what about logistics, food, ammo, parts, and fuel? Does each state have it's own contingency stash separate from the feds control? Now this is an interesting topic.

Part of the annual budget.
