This is being managed by top men.

Top. Men.
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.
But the brass want to cut troops pay and benefits to 'save money'...

One of the demonstrations of idiocy:
The services hold an annual conference to share information about surplus ammunition and swap bullets and other munitions as needed. Data about ammunition left over after the meeting disappears from the books, resulting in an unknown amount of good bullets headed to the scrap heap.

Howzabout a bunch of idiots who're in charge of this being fired?  And their replacements told "Get this done and end this waste, or you're going to Minot.  Forever."

I commented on this at my site, rather than rewrite everything here, everyplace I see this on the internet today.
