The U.S. munitions sector is exhausted because some suppliers have left the industry in response to bad procurement practices, according to the annual Industrial Capabilities report. As a result, the U.S. is running out of the munitions that it uses in countries like Afghanistan.

(19,037 posts)We waste an insane amount of money in the military. The idea our military is some all powerful army is folly. People always look at what we spend to prove our strength. Well, about 75% of what we spend is waste that doesnt help defend our country at all. If we got into a large conflict our vulnerability would be proven.
Unfortunately, the waste and corruption is going up even more under Trump.
