A friend currently on assignment with the US Army in Iraq sent me a note about the latest controvery over Doonesbury and Stars and Stripes.
The latest dust up is that the liberal cartoon -- which has been in Stars and Stripes for more than 30 years -- came over the cartoon that showed soldiers' reactions to the Obama victory.
Hoo-boy did the letters fly into S&S.
Here is the Ombudsman of S&S addressing the issue: Trudeau’s election ‘Hoo-Ah’ escapes an Uh-Oh (Links to the orginal letters are in this story.)
And here is a letter from Doonebury creator Garry Trudeau: How 'Doonesbury’ serves the troops
This is becoming a very interesting lesson on freedom of the press and expression -- the very thing the U.S. military is sworn to protect.
