Shameful: National Guard informs troops last paycheck before Christmas will be late as Biden admin sends billions to Ukraine

The National Guard Bureau "is currently working the issue with DFAS time now," the letter read, "we would hope the issue is rectified today or tomorrow."

On Friday it was revealed that the Biden administration failed to pay numerous National Guard troops their final year end pay on time during the week of Christmas. The failure came after approving a contoversial additional $45 billion aid package to Ukraine, and the House passing a $1.7 trillion spending plan.

"Hello gents," began a letter sent to members of the National Guard, obtained by The Post Millennial, "if you have been tracking, the pay issue that has been plaguing the unit and the division as well." Reports came in from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and South Carolina from troops angered and upset that their pay hadn't yet come through.

"You are probably already tracking there are pay issues. Many soldiers were due pay today. They received LES but did not receive funds." An LES, or a Leave and Earning Statement, is simply a pay stub, but it was not accompanied by funds.

The letter revealed that this is a "nation wide" issue, and that this issue "seems to be at DFAS [Defense Finance and Accounting Service] and is related to the CR."

"NGB [National Guard Bureau] is currently working the issue with DFAS time now," the letter added, stating that "we would hope the issue is rectified today or tomorrow."

"This is unfortunate and can cause serious issues and aggravation across the formation which are understandable. Especially 2 days before Christmas," the letter stated. "I think the messaging is important that it's understood the issues are at the highest levels and that everyone in the Division and State are pushing for immediate resolution."

Another email posted to Twitter by Georgia National Guard soldier James Jarrett read, "the current Continuing Resolution expired today."

"All payments scheduled for 23 DEC are being held until the new FY23 budget is fully approved and signed congress passed the FY23 budget yesterday the housr [sic] has to approve it and then to POTUS to sign hopefully by today."

"With that being sais DFAS is holding all payments until new budget is signed," the email continued. "From what im being told funds hopefully will be released tonight if its signed by POTUS today." [sic]

Congress approved the $1.7 trillion spending plan on Friday, which allows for funds outlays through September.

Update: Sources tell The Post Millennial that paychecks were processed at approximately 12 am on December 24.

The Pentagon was reached for comment.

Hey you Americans - are you beginning to get it? Why you wanna be pathetic little bitches?

Reading this article I immediately thought of the 'sack of Rome' (had to look up the date) in 1527. Pope Clement had not paid his soldiers and was over-taxing the citizens, so when the attacking armies showed up, the holy roman was weakly defended and easily defeated.

Baybars Seems part of the Cloward-Piven/Kalergi/Agenda 2030 insanity. By the way, I like the 'Catch Bull at Four' you've got there.

balboa schwartz Good on you for recognizing that. An inspirational album from my teen-age years which is still on my music trac today.

Baybars Hey, my wife and I have kept all of the vinyl from our halcyon youth, and that one there ^ is among them.

Soon, less Americans and more immigrants.

Kinda makes you think about the actual motivation these guardsmen have. Paychecks. Pensions. Rank achievements.

If there were any amount of good upstanding patriotic men or women staffing our military, it would never have gotten this bad.

One mercenary group gets shafted for the other is all it looks like to me.

Billions of dollars Paychecks for the Cocaine penis clown and his cronies, Oh and 10% for the big man but no pay for the National guard. How insane is that. Just when you thought that you had seen the most stupid thing in the world something even more stupid comes along.

Look at that picture, 2 second rate actors pretending they are something, Bribem and Zelensky.

What is the agenda? The big agenda is the Great Reset, genocide and totalitarian control where you can't travel without a voucher and their are limits.

One part of that big agenda is clearly the destruction of America as a nation and as a force in the world (except for what is controlled by the globalists). Think of what the Bribem admin has done: open Southern border, FBI target of parents who protest school indoctrination into CRT and choose your sexual identity, the plandemic and its military mandate of the bioweapon vax, the plandemic genocide of Americans, the Congress sending billions to Ukraine which is actually money laundering to pay the DNC and others, the George Floyd false flag to defund and attack the police, the food processing plants that have been destroyed, the hyperinflation in food and fuel, the buying up of farm land by Blackrock and the Gates Foundation, the attacks on the Constitution and the First and Second Amendments, the attack on Christian churches and the promotion of Satanic rituals in movies and half-time shows, the identification of all conservative patriots as "domestic terrorists", the fraudulent selection elections, on and on.

Dwoods44 Gosh, when you list it out like that.... Almost makes it seem deliberate.

However, since I know history to be a long string of meaningless coincidence, I can rest assured it is not.

balboa schwartz · 2022-12-27T01:08:39Z

Jack Steinhoff Sheesh.... and here I was getting worried that something was going on that we were being kept in the dark about, thanks for that. Now I can go back to sleep.....

I guess it's only the Israeli police that get to shoot at rock throwers.

Baybars

He will die at the hands of a Ukrainian who has lost everything because of him. Nobody hates him more than the Ukrainian people do today.

When I was born, the global population was a hair under 3 Billion, increasing at a rate of 1.7%. [Link] It was the end of an era for North...

Covid19 was a plandemic. It began as a psyop conflating flu with the new "covid". Most flu deaths disappeared in 2020, along with NO excess...

If the US denied agreeing to Rafah attack, then it is almost certainly true. Nothing is beneath it.
