The Air Force and Naval academies will play as scheduled this weekend. However, overseas military personnel accustomed to getting their football on Armed Forces Network will not be able to watch.
Nextgov.com, where, by the way, there is outstanding shutdown coverage, reports that the Pentagon has:
… reduced the civilian staff of its Armed Forces Network Broadcast Center in Riverside, Calif., which normally transmits nine television channels and seven radio channels via satellite worldwide … the center said most of its channels are off the air, except for news channels … The AFN sports channel, which broadcasts professional sports live, went dark yesterday along with the network’s movie, family and children’s channels.

Come election time I'm hanging a sign on my door. Something to the effect of that if you are a democrat or are out stomping for one don't bother knocking.
It's gotten to the point where I can't stand any of them.
The president is hell-bent are making the AMERICAN people, and all the wonderful, brave, and fearless military personnel suffer endlessly and needlessly.
He is out to destroy this country and every aspect of it.
He is the worse president this nation has ever suffered with.
GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY.
