Sounds to me like maybe all that ammo was distributed to Obama’s friends in the ME and this is a way to cover up its disappearance. Bookkeeping mistakes covered up. More F&F?
How do we know they will actually be ‘destroyed’?.....................
I think your conclusion about the ammo going to ME friends is likely the right one. I remember in the first few weeks of the our adventures in Iraq in the 2000’s when it was reported that a plane, from a just bankrupt the week prior company that was somehow untraceable, flew out of neighboring Kosovo with around 50,000 machine guns and ammo from a US/Nato base to arrive and be lost in Iraq. There were a couple of articles in reference to this at the time but in searching for anything in the last 6 or 7 years I’ve never been able to find anything - which isn’t surprising in the least. Obviously it never happened. Just like if any transfer of ammo if not reported never will have happened.
The best enemy money can buy - always been the case for the USA tragically.
