Pentagon warns that a government shutdown will cost troops their pay over the holidays
The Pentagon is warning that Republicans’ decision to abandon a congressional spending plan will cost troops their paychecks over the holidays unless some agreement is reached before Friday’s deadline to prevent a government shutdown.
Summary
The Pentagon warns that a potential government shutdown by Friday will halt military paychecks during the holidays unless Congress reaches a funding agreement.
Troops, including overseas and reserve forces, must continue reporting for duty unpaid, with federal civilian workers also affected.
The issue stems from House Republicans abandoning a spending plan after criticism from Donald Trump and Elon Musk over unrelated provisions, leaving lawmakers scrambling for an alternative.
Military leaders caution that this funding lapse will cause widespread disruptions, though such outcomes have been partially mitigated in past shutdowns.
You're viewing a single thread.
Hopefully it helps the troops make the right call when the orange VP and President Musk declare marshall law.
Why are they calling Marshal that?
Lol, I fixed the auto capitalization but didn't notice the spelling change.
Orange Musk probably hope that only loyalists will stay enlisted and everyone else quits.
Because, as we saw in Iraq, having large amounts of competent military personnel no longer in the military because of politics walking among the general public leads to good long term outcomes.
Are you seriously suggesting we try learning from the past?!?
A WITCH! BURN THEM!
