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?

Deb Hansen you’re wrong on shelf life of ammunition. I’m shooting reloads that I loaded 35 yrs ago.
I helped pay for it. How about distribute it to responsible taxpayers in proportion to the amount of taxes paid.
sell it to the public for surplus
More waste, fraud and abuse, reported nationally and nothing will be done about it because they are poilicing themselves.
Hey Feds, pay attention to this post. I wil use key words that will flag this post, not as a threat, but to get you to pay attention to what is going on so you read this and actually get some original ideas flowing through your heads.
You have a billion rounds of ammo, you have millions of illegal guns held by criminals. Most if not all of these crinimals are really f’n stupid. Spend say $20,000.00 and have fliers made up for the major crime ares like Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, Miami, and so on. In these fliers, make note that you will be selling the ammunition at a very fair and reasonable price on certain days. Buyer must bring identification and the unloaded secured firearm OR proof of ownership.
The legal owners of firearms will havewhat they need, and should get a hell of a deal buying back what they already payed you $#%&!@*s to purchase in the first place. Make it right with the people for a change. Those without proper documentation need to go to jail. Look, we just saved you a lot of work and got back something out of all the waste you people create. Win/Win.
Here are the key words to flag for notification so you idiots might read this. Obama, Michelle, da bomb, pressure cooker, stolen drity socks and underwear, terrorist, Alien Pomeranians, ISIS is ISL you idiot POTUS.
He is giving it to the enemy
And these are the guys taking decisions to secure our country? That’s smart … (Sarcasm)
They are so wasteful with our tax dollars. Makes me sick.
so it can buy more at five times the price
Propaganda…it won’t be destroyed, but distributed to those overseeing his new private army. An army designed and brought into being to help put down any rebellion started by people like you and me; people destined to take back our nation, our Constitution, our government and once and for all say NO to obummer and all of his foolishness and lawlessness. Bring back the America that you stole from us obummer…leave and return no more. “We can only hope there is time left to right all of his wrongs”.
Greg, the public shouldn’t have to pay for it twice.
