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?

Sell it to the American public (even tho we already paid for it once already)…
What better way to disarm us, get rid of the ammo
In the face of ongoing terretorial grab by China, the poor country of the Philippines has urgent need for ammunitions. It is a tremendous help if those ammunitios for disposal are donated to the Philippines .
Use the White House to contain the blast. Nothing good comes out of that place anyway
Why can’t they leave it where it is until they figure out a system ? In no way should we believe this is the real reason. I will not vote a presidential candidate that will not stand up and call this nonesense out and hold someone accountable. I guess that means I won’t be voting ever again. Lol on the other hand I am suprised obamhasn’t sent it to our enemy to be used against us. That is his typical policy. We certainly cannot use it agonist our enemy ( his friends)
They’ll destroy a small portion of it then have a nice stockpile that ppl don’t know about.
Keep your faith my brothers & sisters,he did let bad destroy his people from beginning of time till now,just keep the faith. How do you think Israel does it ???? FAITH,LOVE OF GOD.
Just leave it for ISIS when they get here, and they will!!
So they waste the taxpayers money. I say, time to get rid of the defense department and the administration.
Waste, waste and more waste, why can’t the government just sell some and recoup their monies?
