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?

they dont want the ammo to be used for a GOOD purpose ?
dumbest $#%&!@*s in the world are in DC.
Idea, use the $1 billion in ammo to mow down illegals as they cross our border.
For years I fought against a foreign tertiary and now the same tertiary is in my own country. God Bless America.
That is just sick.
that stupidity needs to stop . the easy way would be to have just one supplier for all the armed forces , that way they can return what is not used
Sell it to the American people we already paid for it… lets see helicopters flying in US Shooting border Patrol that is a insurgency.. they could really use the ammo and able to do there jobs safely…..
Surplus them and get some of the taxpayer money back!
Actually, this sounds a lot more ominous then what we are being led to believe. Over 60 Federal Agencies, including Social Security and the IRS, are being armed with millions of rounds of ammunition, and the Pentagon is being told to destroy theirs? Please people, do NOT be so naive as to fall for this idiotic cover story for ushering in Martial Law and disarming our troops at the same time so that they cannot defend us from such Tyranny.
Stupid bucks
