On Friday it was revealed that the Biden administration failed to pay numerous National Guard troops their final year end pay on time during the week of Christmas. The failure came after approving a contoversial additional $45 billion aid package to Ukraine, and the House passing a $1.7 trillion spending plan.
"Hello gents," began a letter sent to members of the National Guard, obtained by The Post Millennial, "if you have been tracking, the pay issue that has been plaguing the unit and the division as well." Reports came in from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and South Carolina from troops angered and upset that their pay hadn't yet come through.
"You are probably already tracking there are pay issues. Many soldiers were due pay today. They received LES but did not receive funds." An LES, or a Leave and Earning Statement, is simply a pay stub, but it was not accompanied by funds.
The letter revealed that this is a "nation wide" issue, and that this issue "seems to be at DFAS [Defense Finance and Accounting Service] and is related to the CR."
"NGB [National Guard Bureau] is currently working the issue with DFAS time now," the letter added, stating that "we would hope the issue is rectified today or tomorrow."
"This is unfortunate and can cause serious issues and aggravation across the formation which are understandable. Especially 2 days before Christmas," the letter stated. "I think the messaging is important that it's understood the issues are at the highest levels and that everyone in the Division and State are pushing for immediate resolution."
Another email posted to Twitter by Georgia National Guard soldier James Jarrett read, "the current Continuing Resolution expired today."

I’d say “unbelievable”, but it’s totally believable.

Ping.
President Scrooge
Did they stand “duty” in the US Capitol after January 6th, as part of the two Divisions worth of soldiers arrayed AGAINST the American people?
They may not have been paid but you can bet for dang sure that the IRS is going to tax them on what they weren’t paid!!
who makes this crap up? Russia?
Assuming gender -- that's a microaggression right there.
Ukraine?
China.
The national guard troops don’t launder and kick back 40% to the Beltway.
Please continue to do so.
Maybe thats the reason for no pay - the NG’s ESG score is too low.....
So his own Troops payout comes after dumping more money on
the Ukrainian King of Western Money Laundries.
It is a bad idea to not pay the troops on time.
.
Americans are the rubes on the hook for the Debt.
They’ve been artificially holding interest rates low, when they no longer can, watch the Ukrainians on here scream Uncle!
.
Ukraine has nothing to do with this and since Congress only voted the $45B yesterday I doubt any of it has been sent to Ukraine. Also because it’s to purchase arms which could not have happened yet.
Personally, if I’m going to juxtapose Ukraine aid against every other story, I’d choose the border wall we aren’t building.
Americans ... LAST.
AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.
Been happening, especially, ever since George W. Bush said:
“See ya at the bill signing!”
Hold Traitorjoe and the Traitorcrats accountable for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
