You understand that this is complete bs. National guard troops will be paid when the 1.7 trillion continuing resolution is passed and signed. The same 1.7 trillion bill allocated the money to Ukraine, so they are to be paid out at the same time.
“...National guard troops will be paid...”
Unlike the regular military, guard troops are paid for the hours they work after the fact like most of the civilian world. This means that they have a voucher submitted for them and they are paid under normal conditions like the civilian populous. It is a lot like a bill to the government from HR. So at what point does the government go overdue and violate the contract between the feds and the guard members as they are on a paid for play situation? And how many will walk?
