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?

Just divide it between the military branches that are fighting the mid-east war. They can divy it up and use it for sure. Don’t destroy it, that’s such a waste when it can be used by our men/women fighting the war.
So we can’t use it
They know it’s coming
I got plenty of bolts on my Zombie Crossbow, a silent weapon in case the ISIS take action in America.
They are just making sure the citizens of this country don’t get it! Spend more money-break our back!
Give it back to U.S. We The People will come and pick it up.
Send a letter to your “Representatives!”. Dear Senator/Representative,
Why in the world are we wasting money destroying ammunition that the public will buy or can be used by the National Guard and Reserve units?
The BILLION dollar waste is asinine! There is no call for destruction of ammo that can be used elsewhere and the cost recovered.
There is NO excuse!

Please stop this any way you can!

That is crazy!! Don’t they know what’s coming?
Offer it for sale to the People! We (The People) have already paid for it!
If they do this it is because they want the US military to be weak the the Muslims come to take us over. Which is easier to get now, a gun or ammunition. Think about it.
