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?

That ammunition belongs to the taxpayers, and they have no right to dispose of it or any other item we paid for…so I’d like my share, or my money back…with interest.
Or sell it to the Islams ! 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.
Ridiculous. I believe that actually belongs to “We the People”. As it is our tax dollars that payed for it.
Waste, fraud, and abuse.

I know a way to get rid of that ammo…line up all those at Gitmo, ISIS wannabes, radical Muslims, deserters, and use them for target practice
They should give it back to We The People!
This no system in place is bull$#%&!@*. Sound like a bunch of Obama followers to me that know it was planned this way a long time ago .
This is the same reason they have stock piled .22 caliber ammunition. The same reason their trying to disarm Americans.
Designate ISIS target areas, buy some beer, and let the troops fire off all the excess at the designated area. The days of weapons cleaning afterwards will be worth it.
