It's worse than that. At least half a million military families won't be able to buy groceries, pay rent, or cover vital expenses. Any military family knows what a struggle it is for the enlisted troops to make ends meet when they are paid on time.
Good luck doing that without a paycheck at the beginning of the month.

If the GOP shuts down the government, that means 1.3 million servicemembers will go without pay. This after a Republican senator, Tommy Tuberville, has single-handedly put a hold on all top-level military promotions and appointments because he disagrees with the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing travel expenses for members who must seek abortions out of state. Remind me again why the GOP thinks it’s pro-military.
