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?

so stupid ya go shoot up the middle east with it dont destroy it
Loyal American officers need to store the ammo and report it destroyed. Or maybe Obama has decided to earmark, the ammo to be destroyed, given to the enemy.
wth they buy up a bunch then sell it …H*** no
Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!!
This is all part of their scheme to DISARM America!
“Pentagon set to destroy $1 billion of tax payer money” is what it should say. I call bull$#%&!@*.
What!?….First off, I don’t believe that for a second unless they cover it live because I’m sure it will just dissappear from the records only. Secondly, hasn’t the government just spent millions of dollars on ammo in the past couple years in a move to keep it out of civilian hands!? Third. …does anyone really believe this government besides sheeple anyway….& I for one am no sheep!
I raise the BULL$#%&!@* flag!!!
Understand that ammunition has a ‘shelf’ life. I wouldn’t want to go into a war with old ammo that is likely to fail. And probably fail at just the wrong time.
sell it back to ammo companies-you seem to have created a shortage.
