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?

What an inefficent government we have.
More killing of our defences…why…weaken our ability to defend our country…Obama plan…got to get rid of him…NOW
Really..?!
This is stupid…why waste.++use it on all muslims
Why not do a give away, you know like Jimmy Carter did with cheese ?
Why not sell to the public, a buck a box of 50. I’m sure there are many firearms owners who need low-cost ammo for target practice. I sure do.
It would be nice if they’d donate it to the American people, whose taxes were used to buy them in the first place.
i see several problems. one we need the ammo. two any service should be able to get some if they need it. therefore no problem.
waste of money
Why destroy all this ammunition when you are willing to give guns to the enemy. I feel in my gut that you are lying like always and just are giving it away to our enemies
