Patton said since 2000, the number of sailors and Marines barred from deployment because of financial problems has climbed 1,600 percent, straining an already stretched military. Security clearances were denied or revoked because of financial difficulties for some 2,000 sailors last year, and the trend is similar in other services, he said.

``I have guys guarding my gate here when they should be deployed in Iraq,'' Patton said.

You know nobody's getting killed until the man gets paid.

Just saying.
