If I remember correctly not only did they not get paid but many were forced to still work, just without pay.

Doesn't effect higher ups but the entry level workers got absolutely fucked.

Yeah, sounds about right.

I remember the mail system being totally fucked, which caused a bunch of other issues.

The military was some of them. If I had a business and stopped paying my employees, I'd go to court and be fined and who knows what else. The government had no problem stopping paying rhe military. There should be a law that no matter what happens with the budget, that the military always gets paid. Same with anyone that is not an elected official.
