Of course I believe our troops should be paid, but so should all Federal employees.

As a specific example: the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, most employees were exempted and go to work, primarily civilian workers. They are protecting us by being there and should be paid now, just like our troops.

Dreamed I was back in the Army and Pete Hegseth wanted to be friends with me. Turns out I ended up being the fall guy in a criminal tribunal.

One of the OPM employees described a chaotic, ongoing mess.

“No strategic direction, no strategic plan, statutorily required duties gone by the wayside, no backups for things people did when they left, budget questions that can’t be answered, big holes in institutional knowledge, no ability to backfill priority positions.”
