Government Shutdown Strains Military Families Financially

The ongoing government shutdown is causing financial distress for military families, with many facing the prospect of missing paychecks. Heather Campbell, whose husband serves in the Air Force, fears they will have to rely on credit cards to cover their expenses. While military personnel would receive back pay once the impasse ends, many military families live paycheck to paycheck. Proposals have been made to ensure no interruption in pay, but these are not expected to be considered immediately. The shutdown is also causing anxiety about the military's ability to retain personnel and their readiness to fight.
