The nation’s third shutdown in 12 years is once again raising anxiety levels among service members and their families because those in uniform are working without pay. While they would receive back pay once the impasse ends, many military families live paycheck to paycheck.
During previous shutdowns, Congress passed legislation to ensure that troops kept earning their salaries, but time is running out before they miss their first paycheck in less than a week.
These dudes joined the strongest gang for a chance to kill people and make some money. And now they’re not getting money.
With how little you need to give a soldier before it thinks it’s doing good, I wonder how long until they start Defending Freedom™ against Americans.
