A US Army soldier protests the potential federal government shutdown.
American troops at home and abroad would receive only half a paycheck on April 15th before their salaries are halted altogether if the US Government fails to pass a spending budget by midnight on Friday. In addition to the salary freezes, life insurance policies for troops killed in the line of combat would not be paid to military families until a government shutdown is lifted, CNN reports.
