The reports started earlier in the summer that Trump was utilizing a loophole when deploying the national guard, and avoiding paying those individuals certain additional benefits. In June, Vote In Or Out reported that "Trump deployed National Guard troops on multiple 29-day orders—specifically choosing durations under 30 days to avoid paying full Basic Allowance for Housing Type 1 (BAH‑1)."
"Under Title 32 regulations, if orders run fewer than 30 days, members receive only the reduced 'BAH‑Type 2,' not full BAH‑1; full benefits begin only on day 31 and only apply from that point forward—not retroactively," the group wrote. "By repeatedly cycling short orders—ending them on day 29 and restarting on day 31—the administration saved roughly $2,500 per service member per month, based on differences between BAH‑Type 2 and BAH‑1.

I really don't know where to start, Obviously, Trump has no respect whatsoever for members of the military, especially not the National Guard. I mean these guys have regular jobs, they are away from their families, could lose health insurance benefits from their employer in their absence, and Trump wants to deny them a basic housing allowance and health insurance?
Trump is "stacking" the orders. 29 day deployment, one day not deployed, another 29 day deployment. That is absolutely unacceptable. But most of all, well it is just STUPID. This one is going to come back and bite Trump in the ass.
