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?

if this is true… what is wrong with our people who “serve and protect”?
I’ll take it so does not have to be destroyed
Remember when the property of Americans was sold off in War Surplus stores instead of being completely wasted? How many American jobs would created?
another government agency that waste that needs to be stopped . then how about the other agencys that have just ordered millions of rounds , they should get the ammo . then the question is why does land management ,postal service , dept of education and any other agency other than the FBI or DHS need guns at all
why not let the American people have most of it?
They want Americans to be defenseless !!!!!!
wtf
They stockpiled over the past two years with our money, why not sell it back to the American people
truely a smart move …im” so proud of my government…way to go commander and quief
another example of our idiotic governments spending and waste
