Well, it’s pretty obvious it’s retaliation for the poll they published.
The official reason is budget, lol

It’s probably their independence. They’re not exactly Mother Jones, but they will publish critical pieces from time to time.
TRAITORS!

In 2016, Army veteran David Weissman was an “unapologetic, red-hat wearing” Donald Trump supporter. The Palm Bay, Fla., resident would regularly join social media mobs attacking liberals, he later wrote, seeking to defend a candidate who he said rightfully prioritized the armed forces.
Four years later, Weissman — who served two tours in Afghanistan — has now sparked a Twitter campaign of former service members against President Trump, over reports that he derided fallen U.S. soldiers as “losers” and “suckers.”
“I recommend all veterans to use their Military pics as a profile pic,” Weissman wrote on Twitter on Thursday evening, “to let Trump know how many people he has offended.”

In a video on Twitter, retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who has spoken out against Trump before, described how his father was shot down while delivering air support to troops on the ground in Vietnam.
“I am stunned that anybody in the United States military would consider you anything but a loser or a sucker,” Eaton said, addressing Trump and urging viewers to vote against him in November. “You’re no patriot.”
As first reported by the Atlantic and later confirmed in part by other media outlets, including The Washington Post, Trump said wounded veterans should not march in a military parade and canceled his visit to a French cemetery for American Marines killed in World War I because he had no interest in honoring his country’s war dead.
The president — who received a medical deferment from the Vietnam War — also repeatedly questioned why anyone would join the armed forces, notably in comments to his then-chief of staff, John F. Kelly, according to the Atlantic.
“I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” he asked on Memorial Day 2017, standing beside the grave of Kelly’s son, who was killed in Afghanistan at age 29, the Atlantic reported.
…
Despite a long history of revering generals, the president has criticized his former defense secretary, Jim Mattis, a retired four-star general, as “not tough enough” and “overrated.”
In 2015, while discussing Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a Vietnam prisoner of war, Trump said on camera that he prefers veterans who weren’t captured. Upon McCain’s death in 2018, Trump waited two days to lower flags and issue a formal statement, buckling under pressure from veterans’ groups.

I feel like in one episode Colonel Flagg pretended like he was a reporter for Stars and Stripes and maybe that has bothered Trump for 45 years?

Newspaper has been around since the Civil War.
It publishes polls showing military doesn’t support Trump anymore.
He orders it closed within the month.
Deplorables love him anyway.

“DoD also cannot legally terminate a program “until a full-year appropriations bill is enacted.””
So it may not be dead yet
Even if he uses his “fuck you, what you gonna do about it?” cheat code, it’ll get reinstated in January if the election isn’t a sham.
