Hard to tell but I think it is being destroyed because it is difficult to count and easier to buy new.

Perhaps we should lower the military budget by exactly that amount, since they apparently don't need that ammunition for anything.

What I want to say can't even be expressed on this forum. To say this is ridiculous might be the understatement of the year.

I was thinking I could bid on the contract to destroy the ammunition.

There is some good news here. As inefficient as our government is I bet the rest of the world's governments are even worse. Anyone who has ever served ( 8 years active myself) knows that the military is a bloated mess. But I don't think the Russians or Chinese are better. What's really bad is the VA. Obamacare is nothing more than the VA and we all are stuck with it- for now.

I could use a job. You going to have openings? If so, I'll share with you the details of my plan to destroy it....one round at a time.....

Your hired! I like your plan. Maybe they would have 50 cal. And we would have to buy destruction equipment.

Now where to find the bidding documents to submit the low bid.

Dang they probably don't want a low bid, they want the lowest qualified bid.

We will have to buy a company with Obama ties that's good at destroying things. I know we buy the assets of Cylindra. They were good at destroying money.

I'm .000042% "other than white" so if you'll merge with me we could be a minority owned business! The one round at a time seems to be the safest destruction method to me!

Me too - could we get one of the female members of the forum to start a "woman owned business" and bid on the contract to do the destruction, one round at a time, and put some of us out of work old timers with bad hearing to work?
