[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2107472, member: 42"] Not a happy answer Dennis, but the answer is budget and competing resources. DHS [I]mostly[/I] only has to fund personnel, training, small arms, operations and administrivia upkeep. (we won't dive into the tin foil DHS black helos and tanks blah, blah). Big Green on the other hand has to fund a much larger body of personnel (and higher personnel turnover), small arms, tanks, APCs, aircraft, artillery, administrivia, upkeep of large bases at home and abroad....and sustain operations that include fighting a couple wars. Couple that with Army leadership that does not value gunfighting and gunfighting skills and you get the 40 rounds a year for reservists. As for the DHS ammo conspiracy B.S.....it's just that B.S. People that have no clue about how government procurement works, IDIQ contracts, and who don't possess basic math or reading skills love to get their knickers in a wad over it. The fact that any news organizations outside Infodrone picked up on any of it is irrelevant since [I]most[/I] of our media sources (including the for-profit commercial enterprise Infowars) are more into sensationalism and profit than fact and information.
