    slashing the DoD budget is the only worthwhile thing the Tea Party -esque GOP has been doing.

    The funny thing is that thats just the tip of the iceberg. Ive seen alot more and worse shit than that. I dont even want to think how much money is wasted like that with the rest of the military let alone the govt as a whole.
    At this point now anymore I am extremely disgusted with our govt now for many different reasons. If it were up to me everybody with a major leadership and power position in washington would be kicked to the fucking curb by now.
    Republican,democrat and military doesnt matter. I would be very indiscriminate.

    "But no matter what, what benefit do we get from that waste? Versus say using American money to take care of Americans?"

    Thats pretty much the gist of it all when it comes to ranges.
    I use to do ammo distribution and it went a little bit like this.

    Units will request a metric fuck ton of ammo for ranges that they will be on because they dont want to cut their training short. Normally they will grossly over estimate how much they will actually shoot. But if they dont shoot it all and turn live ammo back into us depending on how much live gets turned back in they will get their orders cut down alot since turning live ammo back in is a huge pita to do because it fucks up our nurabers.
    The units realize this so they just shoot it all whether its for training or not so they dont get shorted in the future.
    Same kind of thing happens with supply clerks. In my old unit they would get a credit card with a certain amount of money on it that they use to buy supplies. So pretty much if you dont spend it you lose it and the unit gets shorted the next fiscal year. And I got to be involved in this too but we went out and spent like $15000 in 2 days on supplies for our company. We had enough shit to fill up 2 large shipping containers. And by the time we were done with the deployment we had 1 container still full of supplies and shit. So since none of it was on the books alot of it got given away to people throughout the battalion for personal use. Im talking like office supplies and stuff.
