They got their pay in the last shut down in 1995.
THEN it follows that there should be no reason for the military not to get paid this time.
Bureaucratic BS just smells. And it won’t sell, to the American public, either.
Soldiers will get their pay once the shutdown is over. Unfortunately they probably have little or no chance of getting paid while the government is shut down. There simply is no way to do it. You can call it bureaucratic BS but like it or not, it is the law.
