Okay, that’s really bizarre.

The U.S. Army is reportedly recommending that American soldiers stationed in Germany go to the Tafel (a German food bank) because they’re no longer getting paid.

Right. Food banks are meant to support people in need. They’re already over capacity, and now soldiers from the richest country in the world are showing up? @randahl

Wegen Shutdown: US-Army empfiehlt Soldaten in Deutschland zur Tafel zu gehen

In den USA herrscht Haushaltssperre. Die US Army empfiehlt ihren in Deutschland stationierten Soldaten, sich bei den Tafeln einzureihen, um an Lebensmittel zu kommen.

This reminds me of a novel I read about the fall of Roman Brittan. Once the legions stop getting paid and fed, the empire is over, bar the shouting.
