The Pentagon is about to destroy around $1 billion dollars worth of ammo, 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 dont have an efficient process for doing something as basic as sharing excess bullets. This Government Accountability Office (GAO) report clearly shows that our militarys 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. So...instead of creating a system to share the ammo they will just destroy it all? Despite years of effort, our armed forces, who carries out complex war plans, cant create a simple system for sharing ammo...really? All the while the Dept. of Homeland Security has purchased around 2 billion rounds of new ammo. The common government lament of how inefficient they are just isnt holding water anymore. truthandaction.org/pentagon-destroy-1-billion-ammunition/
