Not to “beat the dead horse,” but I saw a news item that does drive home the point of my last blog post. Days before anyone else, the Stars and Stripes dropped another big story of interest to all of us, not just those in the military. (Which may be why it is on the alleged budgetary butcher block.) On December 6, 2013, Stars and Stripes and AP pointed out that a Senior Civilian Intelligence Advisor to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence resigned because he was also receiving money from a Chinese Technology Company as a member of their international advisory council. This strikes me as important news, and certainly worthy of notice in an age where the Intelligence Community, as a group, is wearing a lot of egg on their faces. With that in hand, I will defy anyone to tell me why the Stars and Stripes is not worth the subsidy from DOD to keep it up and running. ~ Michael S. Pauley
