    <p>Eye am a federal agent and eye was recently told that our ammunicion allowance was being cut over haf 'cuz of budgetary cuts and ammo shortages. We are being charged with defending the constitution and Merican lives and wee have know means to do it. The private sector is ripe for revolt and the Federal Govmint doesn,t seem to care that its only means of restoring order and killing lots of civilians in these times doesn,t have enough ammunition to allow agents to kill, let alone get in a protracted shootouts with these subversives. We are slowly creeping towards impotence. My doctor even told me eye'm impotent. So all you private sector Second Amendment nuts and anit-government slobs can go ahead and get surrounded and wiped out by partisan rangers and mobs when the revolution hits. Just don,t count on the cavalry coming, because we probably will have to throw stones and harsh language instead of bullets. Case and point...does a novice shooter need 10,000 rounds of 9mm ammo, cause they feel better having stockpiled ammo in a barn they couldnt even hit the side of. All of you people that think you are a one man Alamo will quickly learn that you are just an ammunition storage facility for bigger and meaner professional mercenaries that will just make short work of you and then take your ammo and your TV too. Between people hoarding ammunition and the government cutting defense spending, who even gives a shit about protecting America, when she doesn't give a damn about those putting their lives at risk every day, with inadequate ammunition. If this keeps up, Agents in my sector will have to buy ammunition from the drug cartels, because they are better equiped.</p>

    Swedish soldiers are so attached to their military-issue green camouflage underpants that 3,199 pairs of them went missing last year. The garments topped the list of items that recruits failed to account for when the army does its inventory. The next most-pilfered article was the olive-coloured military bath towel, of which 2,400 disappeared, said the army in-house newspaper Vaernpliktsnytt. Military service is compulsory for men aged 18 to 24 in Sweden. More than 15,500 new recruits are inducted into the Swedish army every year, typically serving between eight and 15 months as conscripts. Each new soldier is issued with military...
