shipping surplus ammunition back home could cost more than the ammunition itself.

They need a bigger budget each year so saving anything goes against that….

Just ship it UPS. The only thing that will arrive is a beat up box.

when I was in the Army if we went down the ranges we had to fire it all off if we didn't use it . One exercise way too much was drawn out the stores by some idiot .Thousands of rounds more than we needed .They had to be got rid of .It was blasted down the ranges with out even aiming -thousands of rounds until about 5 0r 6 pm in the evening even though firing started in the morning and finished about 2 or 3 pm ! The storeman didn't want them back as it was too complicate and would upset the books . What a waste . This happen frequently over 14 years though not usually as bad as this . Most times it was only 200or 300 to fire off or less ! But if this was going on everywhere it must be costing the tax payer millions !

Denial of resources is one of the most basic doctrines in war - don't leave anything behind that the enemy can use, and if you must - spike it..

Much more dangerous military surplus was left intact in the Middle East on many occasions. Likely as a silent drop off to “freedom fighters”

It is needed in Western Europe right now in the hands of patriots. Their governments will arm the Muslims there before allowing its own native born.

I've done this more than once. It 100% happens.

It was quite important that they unpacked the boxes first. This is the current state of the world's former superpower...

I’ll take 5000 rounds of 5.56 hp or fmj and 2000 rounds of 7.62 hp.
Thank you!
