Pentagon warns that a government shutdown will cost troops their pay over the holidays
The Pentagon is warning that Republicans’ decision to abandon a congressional spending plan will cost troops their paychecks over the holidays unless some agreement is reached before Friday’s deadline to prevent a government shutdown.
Summary
The Pentagon warns that a potential government shutdown by Friday will halt military paychecks during the holidays unless Congress reaches a funding agreement.
Troops, including overseas and reserve forces, must continue reporting for duty unpaid, with federal civilian workers also affected.
The issue stems from House Republicans abandoning a spending plan after criticism from Donald Trump and Elon Musk over unrelated provisions, leaving lawmakers scrambling for an alternative.
Military leaders caution that this funding lapse will cause widespread disruptions, though such outcomes have been partially mitigated in past shutdowns.

Just turn it into severance. We need to cut the military
yes, just before a war.
such wise words....
War with who? The only war that will happen will be because of the incoming administration.
I mean, you kinda answered your own question. "What war?" "The war the incoming administration will probably start / pour fuel on is the only one I can think of"
