we fight them over there,

so gangsters can defeat us over here:

wars squeeze police ammunition supplies across us - shortage curtails officers' training

raleigh, n.c. -- troops training for and fighting the wars in iraq and afghanistan are firing more than 1 billion bullets a year, contributing to ammunition shortages hitting police departments nationwide and preventing some officers from training with the weapons they carry on patrol.

an associated press review of dozens of police and sheriff's departments found that many are struggling with delays of as long as a year for handgun and rifle ammunition. and the shortages are resulting in prices as much as double what departments were paying a year ago.

heck of a job, aWol.
