So the Army is getting a double kick in the balls [View all]

Not only will they stuck at the border for Christmas, they probably won't be paid because of the shutdown. Thanks Trump!!!

former9thward set me straight by showing my a DoD release that I didn't get in Google. Thanks for the info and ignore this post, well the pay part, the troops are still stuck at the border.
