News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing​

The Washington Post joined the New York Times, Newsmax and CNN in refusing to sign the restrictive new policy.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wants to force media outlets to sign a set of rules that, among other things, will prohibit any website or newspaper from obtaining, requesting, or publishing information that has not been authorized by the Pentagon. Essentially, the Pentagon wants media outlets to publish only previously authorized news. Anyone who violates this rule will have their credentials revoked.

Some media outlets have signed, but several others, such as the Washington Post, CNN, and the New York Times, have refused, claiming it violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, they also claim that if this rule is enforced, media outlets will be unable to conduct investigative journalism.

The deadline is this Tuesday. Media outlets that do not sign the new rules will be required to leave Pentagon facilities.

What do you call this? Military censorship?

Bullet resistance face masks already exist, by the way. They don't cover the eyes but they are already heavy and unbearably sweaty to wear. Making a fully enclosed helmet will weigh even more and allow even less air in.

This sort of equipment could only be adopted in conjunction with some sort of power-hungry suit-based climate control system that ventilates across the neck and face as well. Otherwise the users will quickly collapse from heat.

3 is very cool looking but seems wildly impractical, if your helmet actually gets shot at and has to do its job protecting your head, can they guarentee that the screen+cameras and sensors wouldn't be damaged leaving you potentially blinded or partially blinded in combat?

With the amount of bb flying in Ukraine, having a full face protection would be nice even if it stop working after some hits. Durability of high tech systems is always a problem, they tend to stop functioning rapidly in bad field conditions. Receiving damage is just on of the different ways to make them stop working.

Lockheed Martin Reveals Ramjet-Powered Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile at AUSA 2025

Lockheed Martin’s family of tested Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) variants will expand through 2026 as the company begins testing both the PrSM Increment 2 anti-ship ballistic missile variant and the PrSM Increment 4 long-range maneuvering fire variant. The company is also exploring ship-launched PrSM capability from Mark 41 VLS cells on U.S. Navy warships.

Increment 4 uses advanced propulsion methods to reach ranges that previous variants of the Precision Strike Missile can’t achieve, hitting ranges over 800 kilometers away, including moving targets. This is in contrast to the previously reported requirement of 1,000 kilometers.
