10. The S&S has always been independent, and tended towards very balanced reporting.

It serves not only the service members, but also their families, civilian contractors, and even the locals that work on the bases.

It was always an independent source of unbiased news that we depended on when we were serving outside the country, with limited English-language news sources available (at the time). We had Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, and we knew how they were biased, so we used to listen to the AFRTS news, then tune in Radio Moscow for their take on the news, and figure that the actual truth was somewhere in the middle of those two.

That's probably what scares Kegsbreath the most…the independence and lack of bias is toxic to him. Can't have actual news getting into the hands of the people that are supposed to be defending democracy around the world.
