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?

Thank You US government for pointing out just one more reason why you are to big and need to be whittled down!
This Is a Waste of Money By Our Government and the order by a Man That Does Believe in Our Armed Forces ( Obama) is his Name, He Is helping and strengthen the Our Enemies and making our Military Weak.
This should illustrate the total incompetence of the federal government, There is no system in place to share the ammo, so they want to destroy it, no thought to the fact that there are branches of the government with no ammo, who can’t get it at any cost so lets just destroy it, Some thought should be given to the idea of shorting the pentagons budget the amount that this ammo is worth, if they do destroy it, obviously a billion dollars means nothing to them, Lets make it mean something to them.
Give it to me!!!HOG WASH!!!! Just trying to clean out ware houses so they can get ready for the newer weapons coming to a soldier near you.
Yeah Marilyn you want them to protect you with sticks and clubs.
Sell it on the surplus market , that is the common sense approach the libs always speak of!
Idiots.
Don’t believe a word they say
That’s a way to keep the ammo shortage going!
Sell it to recover some of the debt.
