A Billion Bucks in Bullets - U.S. government has given Afghan National Army more than $1 billion in ammo
quote:
The U.S. government has given the embattled Afghan National Army
(ANA) more than $1 billion in taxpayer-funded ammunition, according to
the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR)
latest oversight report. This is in addition to $288 million
that has been spent on ammunition for the troubled Afghan National
Police (ANP), which has been cited by SIGAR for its widespread
corruption.
Isn't it great? Some politician (who is probably anti gun) sends bullets over to people who then shoot our troops in the back as they are trying to train them.

“Insider attacks accounted for one in every five combat deaths
suffered by NATO-led forces in Afghanistan and 16 percent of all
American combat casualties according to 2012 data,” NBC said in its
report. There were 12 such attacks in 2011 and 34 in the first half of 2012, according to the New America Foundation.
