Driving to a site yesterday with a co-worker (who is vehemently anti-Obama, spouts the typical right wing talk show catch phrases and so on) when he brings up the "well, why has the government needed to buy all this ammunition as of late," point.
I assume what he said was the result of something that is floating out there; I am frankly unaware of the situation myself.
My reply: "You do know that there has been a conflict going on for more than a decade now; I'd wager that our ammo stockpile has been pretty well shot up and they are simply "topping off," the ammo tank, per se."
Co-worker:
"Hmmm...I didn't think of that."
The insistence of looking for boogy (sp?) men in any and everything that the current administration is doing is, frankly, tiring at this point. People would be better served if they would apply their time, energy, and money to more positive venues, but the chances of that happening are slim to none I fear.
