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?

Develop one then. Our country put people on the moon for pity sakes.
Over Iraq,Syria,Iran; God Will Praise The Unilateral Use Of Excess Armaments
At the same time federal domestic agencies are fully armed to attack US citizens.
Don’t destroy something that we. Paid for! It is very easy to divide ammunition into four parts! I worked hard for my money, why, so you could destroy it, Obama and congress and now my own Pentagon is going to waist my money! No No No it is not yours or Obama’s!!!!
less than two years to go with this t**d as much as I hate Hillary she can’t be as bad as Obama did Jimmy Carter pay Obama just so he would not be labeled the worst President in history?
Well in 1972 we in the USMC were using x-army m 16 rifles that still misfired like crazy and jammed if you sneezed all through Vietnam …Point being this is a down right lie…..there is and has been a provision for the Marine Corps to take in and process(use) all types of arms and munitions from every source in the US Military Arsenal that I know of that has never changed NOTHING accept a no care attitude about spending and a government that doesn’t care……..
If they can’t manage this, then they don’t need to be in the position they are in.
Give or sell it back to American’s for private use, we would love that.
What is OUR Govt’ scared of not to do that?
A good Govt’ has nothing to fear from the people.
Why not give it back to the people who paid for it? US!!!
The Fed purchased this Ammo to dry up the market and keeping the public from purchasing it. I glad the Senators are beginning to come out of the closet.
