Marine Corps Commandant James Amos is a political hack doing the bidding of his CIC.

Perhaps Bath-House Barry and Big Sis could share some of their stash...

“Desperate times: Marines told to ‘save every round’”

Or they could just trot over to the DHS armory and liberate about 600 million rounds. DHS would never miss it.

Yes, I was going to say something similar. If DHS were to have all gun wielding employees start shooting today (safely at a range), the ammunition they have now would go bad before they used it all. It would take an army 20 years of war to go through 1.6 Billion rounds. I'm not sure there were $1.6 Billion rounds fired in WWII total (all forces, airplanes and ships included).

People don't understand how much a billion actually is. If a person started shooting one round/second, non stop (no food, water, sleep, etc.), it would take 50 years to fire almost 1.6 billion rounds.

THAT IS ONE ROUND PER SECOND OR 60 ROUNDS PER MINUTE.

meanwhile, 25% of all federal spending goes to public pensions... they’d never impact those

“In the military they have $5.2 million they spent on goldfish — studying goldfish to see how democratic they were and if we could learn about democracy from goldfish. I would give the president the authority to go ahead and cut all $5 million in goldfish studies,” (Rand) Paul said on Fox News.


5 million buys a fair amount of ammo or gasoline ...

“Amos said his branch would cut $1.4 billion in 2013 and $2 billion in every ensuing year for nearly a decade.”
Yet Obama ask for 1.3 billion in military aid for Egypt in fiscal 2013.

“OK, Men!
Listen up!
We expect the Ragheads to storm the walls at dawn tomorrow.
You will fire only upon every other attacker.
The rest you will deal with using knives, bayonets and hand to hand combat.
Good luck and Godspeed.
Dismissed!”

There are no automatic spending cuts. There is only a reduction of the planned increase.

The SKY is falling. Now the military joins the Obama defund campaign. Its just all lies.

Obama means to destroy our military, and introduce his Obama Gestapo. Watch for it.
