  3. When Guard get pulled away from their civilian jobs to go on orders, many are taking a pay cut. BAH supplements the base salary w/ a special allotment specifically for housing. That isn’t EXTRA money. That PLUS salary is just APPROACHING civilian pay. Shorting them BAH is putting them in poverty.

    The reports started earlier in the summer that Trump was utilizing a loophole when deploying the national guard, and avoiding paying those individuals certain additional benefits. In June, Vote In Or Out reported that "Trump deployed National Guard troops on multiple 29-day orders -specifically choosing durations under 30 days to avoid paying full Basic Allowance for Housing Type 1 (BAH-1)."
"Under Title 32 regulations, if orders run fewer than 30 days, members receive only the reduced 'BAH-Type 2, not full BAH-1; full benefits begin only on day 31 and only apply from that point forward-not retroactively," the group wrote. "By repeatedly cycling short orders -ending them on day 29 and restarting on day 31-the administration saved roughly $2,500 per service member per month, based on differences between BAH-Type 2 and Š’AH-1."

  4. The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug.

    They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
