Thats a mighty broad brush you are playing with.

The last shutdown in 2013 that led to sequestration I received no back pay from the Military. Different parts of the military/govt work under different rules.

We didn't fly airplanes. People lost valuable training to sharpen their skills right before our 2013 Deployment.

Just like then, we have yet another deployment coming up. Hopefully this mess will end soon and everyone walking out the door will be 200% ready for anything the bad guys can throw at us.
