Three staffers at Stars and Stripes, including the military publication’s publisher and editor in chief, sued the Defense Department, saying their recent firings by the Pentagon were illegal and violated their free-speech protections under the First Amendment.

In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal district court in Washington, publisher Max Lederer, editor in chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte claimed that their firings last week for “insubordination” were retaliatory in nature and violated federal administrative law.

Keep in mind, the Department of War had, months prior, tasked all of the DOD with changing their viewpoint. Well, guess what? That also involves the Pentagon funded Stars and Stripes media publication.
