The Independent – The takeaway:

  • Troops use 250,000 bullets per dead insurgent
  • 6,000,000,000 bullets used between 2002-2005 in Iraq+Afghanistan
  • Organic USG ammunition plants can not keep up with demands despite an increase in infrastructure spending
  • Privatizing as a result, contracts are out to an Israeli and a US firm.
