The Defense Department, in purchasing the Stars and Stripes name, also eliminated a decades-long debate about the differences between the domestic version of Stars and Stripes and a separate, government-owned Stars and Stripes newspaper distributed to military personnel stationed overseas.
Kelsch, when asked about the confusion between the two newspapers, said his overseas newspaper was the version of Stars and Stripes that "had the reputation, and someone else had the trademark," referring to Colletti's domestic version of Stars and Stripes.
Stars and Stripes Omnimedia executives hoped the Stars and Stripes name had enough cachet to build, in Colletti's words, "military content on steroids." He bolstered his staff with accomplished journalists and hired former Steelers running back Rocky Bleier and Miss America Heather French Henry as columnists.

WASHINGTON — A reporter for the military's Stars and Stripes newspaper does not have to reveal the government sources who leaked information about Linda Tripp's application for a new job with the Defense Department, a federal judge ruled yesterday.
The Jan. 23, 2001, European edition of Stars and Stripes carried a front-page story disclosing that Tripp was one of four candidates being considered for the new post.
In his opinion, Sullivan said Stars and Stripes has the same First Amendment protections as any other newspaper because it is editorially independent from the government and is often the only source of uncensored information about the military available to service members.
