Billions and Billions of Dollars Wasted

You may recall that the current Administration is led by a guy who has a MBA from Harvard and who has previously talked about running the Federal government like it was a business.

Here is one thing that those business managers did: They bought tons and tons of ammunition for the Afghan Army from a company run by two guys who are barely old enough to drink. Those children, in turn, bought their ammunition stocks from shady characters all over the world and they seemed to be specializing in buying ammunition that was nearly twice as old as they were.

The government needed to buy ammunition from third parties because the Afghanis (and the Iraqis) prefer Russian weapons and the US government doesn't make ammunition for AK-47s, PKMs and DShKs. Probably for political reasons, the US government preferred not to buy newly-manufactured cartridges directly from China or Russia.

But why they entrusted the bulk of that task to two kids is beyond comprehension. Note also, that none of this would have ever come to light, let alone been investigated, if some nosy-ass reporters hadn't started asking a lot of uncomfortable questions of the boys at Ft. Fumble.
