An Independent Perspective

Other DoD media report only what the government says only Stars and Stripes reports on military issues and events from an independent perspective, relying on multiple sources, not just the commands point of view.

An Illustrious History
Reporting continuously since 1942, Stars and Stripes has covered every major conflict since World War II. Stripes reporters have served alongside American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen in Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf War, Bosnia and Kosovo. They embedded with military units and on Navy ships to cover the war in Iraq and still report from Afghanistan.

Stars and Stripes reports from a boots on the ground perspective in over a dozen countries, from Europe to southwest Asia to the Far East.
