The currently unpaid military personnel serving overseas will not even

The Armed Forces Network that supplies the feed to military bases

But, all the members of Congress continue to receive full pay and
benefits, of course.



Gosh, without the NFL on the AFN, they'll have to watch the game at a
bar or on a computer or maybe they'll watch something intellectually
stimulating.

So ignorant you are of military service, especially overseas duty or on
ships at sea.

Go back to sleep.


We didn't have any of that stuff in the USCG. We were totally off the

those correspondence courses ;-)
We did have an ongoing hearts game for a penny a point. It paid for my
liberty after my Bravo cruise.
