I’m going to guess that 90% of troops don’t want this. Any time something weird happens a hundred other things get fucked up. Maybe the special paycheck massively delays their back pay, maybe it screws up amounts and they get overpaid some amount that the army is going to notice in five years and yoink it straight back from their bank accounts, something different will go wrong and anyone who has been in the military for more than a few months knows that in their bones.
Hard to say. I know a guy in the Navy who was having to apply for a loan from his credit union to pay the bills this month. Tough to turn down “free” money.
I was operating under the assumption that most of these guys are already used to short term loans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it makes them love Trump but they also know that it’s going to cause them problems that fall into the “unknown unknowns” quadrant of the Rumsfeld compass.
This guy in particular is definitely not pro-Trump, he got hit with the double whammy of being broke and having a military dad. Tried to convince him not to but he wouldn’t bend. He hasn’t bought any Cameros yet tho!
