They have to be paid. That portion of the federal government must continue to function. 1stSgt Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 25 Sep 2015 17:27:39 -0400 2015-09-25T17:27:39-04:00 Response by CDR Terry Boles made Sep 25 at 2015 6:11 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/congress-is-saying-troops-may-not-get-paid-now-my-question-is-what-changes-do-you-think-need-to-be-made?n=994329&urlhash=994329 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I honestly cannot remember a time (36-years and still serving) when the the troops pay became a political pawn like it has with this congress and administration. I am sure there have been times in our nations history where the troops were still paid when the budget was at political odds.<br /><br />Honestly, I think they try to make it intentionally painful for the troops to make their political points. Its simply shameful, period!! CDR Terry Boles Fri, 25 Sep 2015 18:11:03 -0400 2015-09-25T18:11:03-04:00 2015-09-25T17:24:53-04:00
