Homeland Security buying 21.6 million more rounds of ammo

When that big order came through last year (the one supposedly for the Natl Weather Service and Social Security), I heard one bureaucrat explain that they were mandated to use 'similar' ammo in training as used in the field, so they just bought the same HP rounds for training.

When told that the HP rounds cost 2-3 times more than perfectly acceptable training ammo designed to simulate the HP rounds, they said they would rather just buy the HP rounds, so there wasn't any question if them being different.

Our tax dollars at work...
