    This is a lot more serious than the headline…

    Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential,” Wilson wrote.

    Last year, the Pentagon implemented a new rule for media that required credentialed outlets to agree to a new policy that states reporters cannot gather or publish information from the Defense Department that is not explicitly authorized.

    That includes declassified information or off-the-record conversations, no matter where the information was obtained.

    Many mainstream media outlets refused to sign the agreement, finding the new rules oppressive. As a result, major broadcasters such as Fox News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News; legacy newspapers such as the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal; and other outlets lost their Pentagon press credentials.

    What a collosal pussy. All armed service members should be absolutely ashamed to be following such a shallow, childish, vain, poor excuse of a man. You would sacrifice your life on the whims of this douchebag?

      I feel ashamed about signing up 20 years ago, and every one of us who’ve done so should be sighting in rifle sights again.
