OK ... we've BEEN paying the military .. right?

And if we don't pass another raise in the debt ceiling .. NOTHING will have changed ... right ?

SO

How can NOT passing a new debt ceiling cause us not to pay the military ?

Albert, they are not working on the debt ceiling yet. This is the CR.

It’s all part of Obama’s Scorch-America policy. Get ready for temper tantrum.

If you can't borrow money you have to live on what revenue is coming in. That money has to go to non-discretionary spending first before discretionary spending. That's the law. Defense is considered discretionary spending. If there isn't anything left over after the non-discretionary spending is covered then the troops won't get paid.
