The Pentagon has planned to destroy around $1 billion dollars worth of ammo since April 2014, all because they say there is no system in place to share them across different branches of our armed forces.
“Despite years of effort, the Army, Navy and Air Force still don’t have an efficient process for doing something as basic as sharing excess bullets. This Government Accountability Office (GAO) report clearly shows that our military’s antiquated systems lead to millions of dollars in wasteful ammunition purchases.” states Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
And how much did DHS purchase?

What a stupendous idiotic waste of taxpayers money! The statement includes the destruction of the ammunition and the Pentagon’s Military Industrial Complex!
Obama is intentionally killing the county’s defense.
u mean so they say?
Look at the useless POS as Secretary of Defense. Totally useless yes man for the democrats.
Check it out America?
yeah right, they will store them to use on defenseless people
wasteful idiots!
Why not just shoot it at Washington???
So there is no program to share ammo but there is a program to arm local police with surplus armored vehicles, machine guns, body armor and so on. Now the ammo shortage is starting to make sense to me. Can’t get what you need or as much as you want because of high demand. Sounds more like the government buying it then distroying it to create a shortage
