Report: Pentagon to destroy $1B in ammo

[5.56NATO]

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon plans to destroy more than $1 billion worth of ammunition although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources.

It's impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction — valued at $1.2 billion by the Pentagon — remains viable because the Defense Department's inventory systems can't share data effectively, according to a Government Accountability Office report obtained by USA TODAY.

Can anyone say, "SNAFU?"

I'd be more than happy tohelp them get rid of their excess ammo, one bullet at a time, and I'd do it for free, too...

I hope you're not trying to say that the federal government is inefficient?

Because I'm pretty sure thats a hate crime and is obviously racist!

That "B" looked a lot like an "8".

I was thinking why it was news that eighteen dollars worth of ammo was destroyed.

This is worse.

That surplus .gov property should be made available to the taxpayers that bought it. Maybe through CMP or those .gov auction sites.

Yep.

My understanding is they don't even sell spent shells anymore unless they are thoroughly crushed.

I'm pretty sure you just got put on the no fly list and can expect a visit from the IRS, soon.

Now that explains why they where buying a shit load of ammo in the past few months. Just to turn around and burn it. So the shortage would go on and we could not buy what we wanted. Another way to fuck us from out rights
