Default Desperate times: Marines told to 'save every round'

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...e-every-round/

Quote:
(CNN) – United States Marines are being told to preserve ammunition and gasoline as a deal softening the impact of automatic spending cuts continues to elude leaders in Washington.

Marine Corps Commandant James Amos urged personnel in a video posted online Friday to "save every round, every gallon of gas," and to "take every single aspect or opportunity in training to get the most bang for the buck," a reminder of the cuts' immediate effect on the U.S. military.

The Marine Corps and other branches are being forced to cut billions from their budgets as the result of the spending cuts, which were triggered March 1 when Congress and the White House failed to strike a deal reducing the federal debt. In a letter to all Marines dated March 2, Amos said his branch would cut $1.4 billion in 2013 and $2 billion in every ensuing year for nearly a decade.
Maybe they can borrow some from the DHS who just purchased almost 2 billion rounds of ammo...
Or how about firing some of the bloated DoD staff and use the saved money to buy ammo?
Ya think all these sequestration cuts are being intentionally done where it'll make the most noise and get the biggest reaction?

And just as a refresher, these aren't "cuts" at all, only a reduction of the planned increase in spending next year and beyond.

As an ex-Marine, I think we would be the last branch of the military to ever "waste" a shot.

You don't see the president, or members of the House & Senate taking any cuts as they exempted themselves from the cuts... As they exempted themselves from Obamacare, gun control, social security, etc, .....

Vote these bastards out!

And I don't think that's the point. Never knew an "ex-Marine" though.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.
I will check with my direct contact in the Marines and see what he says.

Maybe this is a the plan of Obama to disarm us further. We gun owners will get pissed off and set up a collection. We will donate our own ammunition to protect marines and further deplete our own stocks. Yes, smells like an Obama plan.

But, but cut MANAGEMENT!?!? Are you HIGH!?! Why would anyone cut overhead instead of direct labor? That would just be fucking un-American! Where's your dedication to the tittie-sucking middle and upper management all over the world. You know, the ones that lay people off and STILL collect their performance or retainer bonuses. Surly you jest good sir.

I don't know about the gun control laws, but face it, our SERVANTS have exempted themselves from lack-luster entitlements We the People have to pay into for the far shinier Congress retirement and health care. Be honest. You know what percentage of our GNP entitlements are now, before Obamacare? They are opting out of shitty programs that are horrible expensive so they can live like Oligarchs..................... .....wait, most of them are millionaires...............may be they should pay for their own shit and get off the tit.......................Just a thought.
