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."

“Hello Gents”? Really?
That's a lie. The same 1.7 trillion spending that had 45 billion for Ukraine allows the money to be sent to the guardsmen.
Congress approved the $1.7 trillion spending plan on Friday, which allows for funds outlays through September.
"All payments scheduled for 23 DEC are being held until the new FY23 budget is fully approved and signed congress passed the FY23 budget yesterday the housr [sic] has to approve it and then to POTUS to sign hopefully by today."
Hey! I got an idea!. Let’s have another banana republic electoon and elect Jo Jo for another four years. POS.
Remember Trump?
This would not have happened with him.
President Trump had mean tweets. And wild hair.
See? We’re better off now.
That alone could start CW2. Or last least the NG would stand down if something did start.
My dad worked on the AC Expressway back in the 70’s. There was a mix up on payroll two days before Christmas.The Foreeman’s were paid but not the road guys. My dad cashed his check and split up his check with the guys.so their kids would have something under the tree.
What’s sickening is this is not even halfway over yet. We still got 2 years and a month left of this BS. And even then, being that the RINO party is a bunch of neutered wussbags the possibility exists that it could even go for another 6 years and a month.
Never screw with he troops food or money. Thats a know fact.
We are soooooo hosed ........
Barring Divine Intervention, I mean.
I’ve been waiting on my IRS refund for 9 months. I will never overpay my taxes again! This was an accident that I had too much taken out of my checks.
Divine intervention includes Divine judgment. Do not doubt that the USA has, or very soon will, fall under the wrath of God. My prayer is that I am not like the Edomites in Psalm 137 and gloat over.the affliction. I do not want to be justly condemned but the Ungodly.
I can’t say you’re incorrect.
This nation elected leaders that promote godless agendas.
And are exporting same all over this globe.
It’s literally dangerous. Very dangerous. I fear an angered Almighty God.
But the godless never believe judgment will happen. And so....
Isaiah 28:15 - King James Version
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death,
and with Hell are we at agreement;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,
it shall not come unto us:
for we have made lies our refuge,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Biden hates you.
The NG has no obligation to take orders from a usurper. They do have an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic . . .
They’ll get it as soon as they kick back 10% to the Big Guy.
Despicable.
National Guard boss should have switched the lines to read budget for abortions, climate change and reparations for slave days. Then it would have been released for disbursement in one hour.
Adding insult to injury!
This government hates the military, unless they can be used as dispensable pawns in order to promote their own degenerates. .
Well they had to please the grunting little Ukrainian coke head who they were all groping and pawing in Congress.
Hell with we Americans.
Russia isn’t the ones breaking the backs of American taxpayers.
