I am sorry to anounce to those who have not heard, that the government has already decided to take half of the soldiers pay as of a few hours ago. I would also like to say that I pesonally think that this is rediculous and that if this shutdown occurs, i will be pulling my brother out of Afganistan by myself, no matter what Obama and the rest of them have to say about it. Shutting down the government and cutting pay of soldiers is absolute (Excuse my language) BULLSHIT, If Obama cannot take a pay cut, along with the rest of the government, then the military should most definately not take the cut, as they are the ones protecting the pansies in office right now. Please support the cause and like this on Facebook, and feel free to post your feelings on here! LIKE THIS!!!

What I say: Shut 'er down. I see the Republican party being set up here. The same party that wanted budget cuts in 1994 that almost led to a shut down wants them again and for good reasons. However it made them look bad and we got 6 more years of democrat. The president does not care about military pay. Politics is politics no matter what.

The american people are not stupid. They were blaming the republicans on NBC this morning, so watch fox news for some decent info.

I read about this bill a couple days ago and hope it passes. I think Harry Reid will shoot it down in the senate if the president wants that. Otherwise I think it can pass.

They should be payed as normal, but I don't think that will happen. Politics comes first in Washington. Not america. Politicians are for Politicians.

To quote myself: "I read this bill a couple days ago and hope it passes"

I think soldiers can handle not being payed for a week. Its not like their whole family is going to starve to death because they won't get their paycheck that week. It's not as big of a deal as it's worked up to be. I think the republicans should take as long as they need to make a good decision. I heard rumors of Obama planning to veto the bill if it gets in anyway though.
It's not the Acid attacks. Honor killings. Beheadings. School bombings. Hostage taking. Corrupt checkpoints. Religious violence between factions. Institutionalized corruption. Corporal punishment. Slavery of women. Or even the widely practiced recreational homosexuality. You all can hold hands while you skip down Chaos Lane for all I f*cking care. But when your civilization sucker punches my civilization, I aint gonna leave nothin left of your way of life but a cloud of dust... Ask the Japanese.

Correct. This will make it look like it is the republican's fault for not passing a bill. So republican can be blamed for anything that goes wrong because of that.

the reason you think they can go a week without the paycheck, is because you dont have a family to feed, your parents pay for you to live, but people like my brother depend on that paycheck to give their kid/s food, clothes, and other necceseties

But will they die from starvation? Can't they live off of what is already in their house? Or are they the kind of people who don't eat left overs and don't like every other kind of food because it's "gross"? I'm sure your brother has some amount of money stored somewhere as a reserve. If he tells his commanding officer that his family is going to die because he can't feed them for a couple days, I'm sure the military will send them some food. Besides, all military members will be reimbursed their money when they government starts running again.

Here's how I see it. First off this whole demo/repub thing is fn up our government we have 2 sides constantly at ends with each other about what's best " for America " when it's only about what's good for them .second this isn't the first nor the last time these idiots can't make a budget . The president has to make the best decision he can. And if he feels that what's proposed dosnt work then what ? Push it through anyway ? There's reasoning behind a possible veto .does it suck ya but better then 6 months from now going " well guys were realy screwed now maby we shoulda spent more time on it then ". And about our troops pay. They need not wory there are more the enough people/places more then willing to assist them and there family's if need be I know I would do what I could . Instead of just complaining. About the problems and pointing at a rebub or a demo going it's there fault. Think. Oh ya I say screw the party system we need 1 party for 1 America. We all need to band together and make it work or it's all Going to fall apart
