And just who is in control of this? Who ordered it shut down? No one can order it to be turned back on? Whose department/agency does it fall under? DOD? Who?
Who is in control of this? "The American Forces Network (AFN) is the operational arm of the American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), an office of the Defense Media Activity (DMA). AFN falls under the operational control of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs (OASD-PA)."
Much of the staff consist of contractors. Any remaining Friday at midnight were ordered sent home.
Who ordered it shut down? Not being essential to the operation of the Department of Defense, it was ordered shut down at midnight Friday.
No one can order it to be turned back on? Not being essential to the defense of the country, no.
Whose department/agency does it fall under? DOD? Yep.

You have to ask who ordered it shut down? The rats did that’s who.

Noob: We might control The White House, the House of Reps and the Senate but we only have 51 Senators. If we had 60 we could beat the rats all the time and they wouldn’t have a chance.

It's you who needs to take your blinders off and come back to reality.

192 people to dinner on the tax payer’s dime thinking that they finally derailed Trump’s agenda. This will easily be a $25,000 night with tax and gratuity. The optics of this evening must be memorialized into the campaign against Democrats.

Nope. You cant tell me tv is that important. I dont remember FReepers whining about soldiers not having tv when the republicans shut down the government.

There’s a reason 90% of the military won’t vote for a dhimmicrat

Spoken like one who has never been there - deployed troops don’t watch near as much TV as we do but they deserve any of the small comforts that can be supplied - even though the “take a knee” crap has soured many on the NFL, making the games available to them is the right thing to do.

I bet Trump starts calling him “Shutdown Schumer” in his Tweets.
To: Kaslin
An unpaid military and an anti-American Democrat party along with some pro-illegal alien invasion Republicans, a closed door meeting with all three groups would be an interesting experience.
