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?

Nothing to like about this. Lying again. Probably going to give to the illegals when they fire our active military to come after us more of our government at work. In the Washington Post
Sorry I thought the Pentagon was all branches of the armed forces.
It’s Obama care, gotta get everything out of his way
They spent 70,000,000,000 of your tax dollars on bullets and now are going to destroy over 1,000,000,000 dollars worth because they have more than they need.
First DHS buys 1.6 billion rounds, now gov says destroy 1 bil’s worth? Somebody needs to be held accountable for this BS…
The more amo they destroy the less we have to defend ourselves with think about it ‘!!
YET government agencies have ordered MILLIONS of rounds because of desperate need.
it is all the plan destroy military and these military who follow all the evil intention by this admin,why waste ,military are spending a lot of ammo during training and practice.
They might want to rethink that…..could be that ammo may come in handy soon.
more like its making a funding gap spent on black ops and other top secret programs where they labeled it as “Ammunition” disappear on the books. They dont actually have that surplus ammo, so better off saying they destroyed it before the accounting department looks 😉
