Not only will they stuck at the border for Christmas, they probably won't be paid because of the shutdown. Thanks Trump!!!
Edit:
former9thward set me straight by showing my a DoD release that I didn't get in Google. Thanks for the info and ignore this post, well the pay part, the troops are still stuck at the border.

The DOD was fully funded in September until Oct 2019. They will be paid.

It's dated Dec 17 2018 so I thought it was still valid.

(115,733 posts)4. Apparently. I don't know how reliable that publication is
but other major media sources have reported that military people will get paid because the DoD is funded October 2018-October 2019.
