Missile and munition stockpiles are dwindling as the US continues to send aid packages to Ukraine.

just imagine the 5.56 and 9mm shortage in our inventory. You think ammo is scarce and expensive now, wait till the .gov orders come in to replenish the inventory

Sounds all too intentional in the plan to weaken us enough for easy defeat....I would worry less about us being able to buy cheap ammo and more so what is in store for us in the future.

But we all know that so stock up while you can.....we might just need it more then we think

Pentagon Officials Are Realizing US Munitions Stockpiles Aren’t Nearly Big Enough To Take On China

In a whirlwind of hearings in March, Pentagon leaders revealed how much the Ukraine war has cut into American munitions stockpiles.

Massive rates of ammunition consumption from the war have caused the Pentagon to reevaluate needs for a potential China contingency.

“One of the big lessons coming out of Ukraine is the incredible consumption of conventional munitions and the conduct of what is really a limited regional war. So, a great power war, if that were to ever happen — God forbid it does — the consumption rates would be incredible,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said.

Maybe if we ask nicely the Taliban will give some back.

I have nothing good to say here, so I won’t say anything at all.

























Biden can eat my ass.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

Don’t worry. I am sure they will tell the pentagon no more wars for 13 years.
