It’s something they’d likely do if this shutdown went on for any large amount of time, because otherwise they’d probably have some major problems on their hands pretty quick.I’m pretty sure they’ll still get their next payday regardless anyway, so if the shutdown goes on long enough for us to hit that date (the dems will likely cave before then), that’s likely when they’ll start trying to allow those soldiers to get paid regardless of the shutdown, and if that doesn’t work... well, it won’t take long for some pretty big problems to start.</blockquote>
