They threw away untold thousands of rounds at Camp Leatherneck. We would find thousands of rounds per day that they were tossing in the burn pit as well as grenades, smokes, and enough new uniforms and boots to outfit several companies. Make them go back there and dig it up. Well, make the Officers and NCOs do that as THEY are responsible.
There has been a lot of waste in Iraq and Afghanistan by everybody.

In the spirit of Sequestration the Federal Reserve Bank sent 1.7 Billion US Dollars to Europe by the Dutches bank. Then we sent that other above for our basic load of Special politicval aid follow ups. Then we spent who knows how much for the Obama's latest vacation.
The only one sequestered is the American People.

The waste is ridiculous. When I went through the "crawl under the barbed wire with a machine gun shooting over your head course" it was a mud pit and the DI's said they would just throw our field jackets away instead of having us wash them as we normally did. Crazy.
