This pit is almost ready for burning: About 10 million rounds of 5.56mm, 7.52mm and .50 caliber.

Falcon,

WHY???.....is all of that ammo being destroyed? Is it being done under orders of one of those liberal puke agencies in D.C.?

Ths photo i attached was made in Saudi Arabia after Desert Storm. There i managed the destruction of 15,000-18,000 tons of unserviceable ammunition ranging from small arms ammo to 8" projectiles. US military small arms not in its original pack cannot be identified by lot number and becomes unserviceable.

The US tried to give the small arms ammo to other countries but had no takers.

Has anyone else heard that the way many of these environmental groups are funded is by these lawsuits directed to the EPA. EPA mounts a weak defense, they lose the lawsuit and have to pay the winners(i.e. co-conspirators) law fees, etc.
