Pentagon To Destroy $1 Billion Worth Of Ammo. This Makes Sense Because…?

Why is the Pentagon to destroy ammunition for our men and women in uniform while the Department of Homeland Security is buying up millions of rounds of ammunition? As we asked last week, why are we decimating our military while many government agencies are arming up?

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. The result: potential waste of unknown value.”

Let me figure his out:
The government pays $500.00 for hammer and $1200.00 for an allen wrench.
So 1.2 billion dollars worth of ammo would be just a few rounds.

We should also wonder how much of that arsenal has been transferred to the wrong hands for a huge profit.
