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?

To buy more
Sell it to us “good old boys” and we will help defend the homeland with our own ammo. Plus, it would make cheap plinking rounds if they sell it right. But, the liberal establishment would rather destroy it and give America to the illegals from the south.
This is unacceptable!
sell it to me for a $1. I’ll dispose of it…
This it crazy ..
Ammunition suppliers should stop sales to the government, let them make there own.
How difficult can it be? Little kids have it figured out. One for you, one for me, one for you, etc.
they could put them to good use and give it to Israel
This is another crazy plan by the clowns in Washington.
“no system in place to share”?! How about freight cars or trucks. Typical of so many things, if it breaks, don’t fix it just buy another, its not out of my pocket.
