That's more or less what it comes down to. Catholic priests under contract or GS (general schedule) to the military are not allowed to offer the Catholic sacraments on military property during the government shutdown, and if they do, even on a volunteer basis, they risk being arrested.
I think Catholic priests should perform those sacraments. They answer only to God, and if they didn't - they didn't perform their duties. It is not China, yet, they can't be shot for doing that.
BTW Despite SHUTDOWN President Obama can still play golf while some of us are NOT ALLOWED to practice our religion.
