If the troops can be forced into involuntary servitude because there are no civilians to process their separations, why can't Trump order DOD civilians to process the separations? Way to shit on the troops, cons:
"The Army needs to extend soldiers due to the Antideficiency Act, a federal law that prevents the federal government from obligating or spending money during such funding lapses, Shaw said."
.....
"Army civilians and contractors who are affected by the shutdown oversee much of the administrative process dealing with soldiers’ separations, said Katherine Kuzminski, director of the Military, Veterans, and Society Program at the Center for a New American Security think tank in Washington, D.C.
“The Antideficiency Act prevents the federal government from incurring additional costs during the shutdown — which would include using furloughed federal employees or new fiscal year contracts to those running soldier out processing,” Kuzminski told Task & Purpose on Wednesday."
