    But the military doesn’t get paid during a shutdown.

    Also…

    A shutdown just means no one is there to stop them

    Nobody is stopping them! At best they get turned away on one day and welcomed with open arms the next. Their job gets only slightly easier if they meet no resistance and I could even see it being made harder if they need access to something and the ones with the keys or passwords isn’t there.
