Anninymous donor pays 130 million to cover troops next pay day. So, that makes the US army mercenaries for hire right?
Anonymous donor is Timothy Mellon, btw
He is probably senile at this point.
and is there anything in return for this? Like when the govt reopens, does he get repaid directly or indirectly?
That would be an illegal violation of the antideficiency act. So who knows?
