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.

Tom Carper, D-Del., chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
And how much did DHS purchase?

Out of control with this knee grow.
I have an idea, why don’t they just ask the other branches if they need any ammo, then give it to them. They all fight the same enemy so they can’t share it. The government is doing this to make ammunition more expensive for Americans.

Typical government waste. Asinine!
WASTE money is what they’re good at …. IDIOTS
Try selling it.
That ammo is more than likely going to disappear into the hands of Muslim extremists they are arming in Syria tax payer free.
How could a pressident destroy a munition when he not su what are facing
So create a damned system. Stop throwing away our money. Give it to the American citizens to protect themselves.
Our government & their stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
