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?

Total and evil movement on our governments part.
They will probably give it to our enemies.
Stupidity. They will raise taxes to increase budgets for more ammunition next year.
Frickin’ retards… I can recall being the Assistant Operations Officer at an Infantry Battalion on Active Duty… Believe me, every year about August to September we were attempting to get all authorized ammunition allocated supplies shot-up by our Company Commanders due to it being the end of the fiscal year… Unexploded ordinance and ammunition was in those day’s stripped from your future allocation in the coming fiscal year. Yeah, we found ways and means to expend that ammo !!!!!
One word Obama
