Someone just bought the US Military. Militaries in times of distress owe their allegiance to whoever writes their checks. This money did not come from congress / the US government. Individuals in the military might have concerns and low morale, but as long as they are paid and have their basic needs met they will follow orders. The whole military is designed around following orders.
Not great, Bob.

By the time any soldiers/marines/airmen/squids see the cash, it’s basically going to amount to a shitty pizza party.
So none of the rank and file just got bought off.
Even if it went straight to them, it would only be like $100 each.
and it’s not going to go straight to them.
