It's a movie! Fantasy! Make believe! Doesn't the Pentagon have anything more important to worry about?! (Yes they do...)

(Bloomberg) -- The plot of A House of Dynamite, the new thriller from Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow, hinges on — spoiler alert —  US missile defenses failing to knock down a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile headed for Chicago.

The Pentagon agency responsible for the more than $50 billion system of ground-based interceptors in Alaska and California designed to avoid just such a scenario isn’t happy about it. The movie, starring Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, had a limited theater release and is now streaming on Netflix.

      Can DoD use private funds to pay troops during shutdown?

      The proper thing to do is for our elected officials to get to the negotiating table... “Whether the government is or is not lawfully paying the troops salaries can’t depend on this gift. It has to depend on whether there is another appropriation available for this cost, and I don’t think there is. And if there isn’t, then they can take the gift and hold it, but they can’t spend it without approval of Congress,” Super told Federal News Network.
