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?

They could sell it to legal gun owners and help reduce the trillion in dept we have.Would be a win win deal for us all
hay about using it on ISIS you idiots
More idiotic waste! Take some of that ammo and give it back to US, WE THE PEOPLE as we were the ones who paid for it in the first place. There is such waste in Federal Government as it is massive and mostly run by totally incompetent bureaucrats!
This is our money these Morons are spending.
I’ll take some .223 and .45acp!
They should have a Garage Sale… Not just Destroy. Don’t give me that bull “It’s old and won’t work”… I’ve Shot .303 from 1905 and most of it did work.

They government spent millions $ in Obamacare and it didn’t work correctly and had to spend millions more to fix it. There is a way if the military just sat down and do it. All have a system of turning in unneeded parts and equipment to D.O.L. and all branches of the military use it to get the parts. I’m sure they can adjust it to ammo.
