4. Lack of ammo for live fire exercise...
There was a story back in 2000 that the Army was short of many forms of ammo, including that used in the M-16, and was suspending regular live-fire exercises.

I cannot seem to find that story just now, but I do recall it.

We sent soldiers into combat who had not fired their weapons in months!
