Title: Report: Pentagon to destroy $1B in ammunition
Post by: Pandora on April 28, 2014, 09:24:04 AM
... although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources. (http://www.stripes.com/report-pentagon-to-destroy-1b-in-ammunition-1.280372)

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.

Maybe I'm over paranoid,
but,
depleting our military of its ammunition,
while,
building up the stock pile of ammunition for all this regime's departments,
even the Post Office,
seems to me like he is disarming our military and arming our civilian agencies,
up to military levels.

I ask:
what could go wrong with this scenario?

Even worse Radioman...

What if they are only saying the ammo is being destroyed, only to divert it to people they know will follow their orders...like DHS etc?!

Remember the Bamster saying something about having a civilian security force equivalent to the military?

I think he reached that point a few years ago.

Given the variety of agencies which now have SWAT capability I'd be inclined to concede the point to you.

I am inclined to think it foolish and dangerous to not think the worst of this ilk!
