Bezos Also Bought DC Military Family Life and DCMilitary.com

According to an SEC filing made today by WaPo, Amazon's Jeff Bezos bought a number of other publications, both print and digital, from the WaPo comany, in addition to WaPo,  including military newspapers produced by Comprint Military Publications (and their websites DCMilitary.com and DCMilitaryFamLife.com)

From the SEC filing:
“Post Business” means the publishing businesses conducted by the Seller and its subsidiaries, including publishing The Washington Post newspaper and the newspaper’s internet site washingtonpost.com; publishing Fashion Washington, Capital Business, the internet sites The Capitol Deal and Service Alley, Express (and its websites ExpressNightOut.com and ReadExpress.com), The Gazette Newspapers (and their website Gazette.net), Southern Maryland Newspapers (and their website SoMdNews.com), Fairfax County Times (and its website FairfaxTimes.com), military newspapers produced by Comprint Military Publications (and their websites DCMilitary.com and DCMilitaryFamLife.com), Apartment Showcase, New Homes Guide, New Condominium Guide, El Tiempo Latino and The Guide to Retirement Living Sourcebook; operating Washington Post Live and Washington Post News Media Services; operating a commercial printing and distribution business and a paper handling and storage business, including Comprint Printing; and the other operations conducted by the Seller and its subsidiaries within Post-Newsweek Media, LLC, Greater Washington Publishing, LLC and Robinson Terminal Warehouse, LLC, but excluding the business of publishing Slate Magazine, Slate V, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy (and excluding the websites related to such publications and operating FP Events) and the other Excluded Assets.
DCMilitary.com has such stories on its site as:

Why I serve­—A firsthand account of a Coast Guard recruit

I would be really impressed with Bezos if he started running some Laurence Vance commentary at DCM, like this.
