Has it occurred to those people that this ammunition was probably stored in order for easy access to be gained by the army incase of an emergency? Not every story about ammunition and where it is stored is a conspiracy theory. If the ammunition has been stored in unacceptable conditions then the contractors who managed the massive stock of ammunition should be brought to court.edit on 3-12-2012 by ProfessorT because: (no reason given)

I beg to differ. US Army and other organizations have a record of great care and diligence when disposing of ordinance. Of course there are salient exception, but they are not the rule.

Sounds like everyone is preparing the pacific as a battle ground.....(see recent thread)
Are we going into planning far beyond the middle east?
What is driving the absolute rush to arms? Are they planning for expansion of the mid east conflict?
or are they trying to divert some of the forces involved in it?
Ie China, India , Koreas etc...??
That aside, the shear quantity of this stockpile, stinks of some kind of illegality in its procurment ....
How was this company able to purchase or contract to dispose of such a vast quantity?
The Lawsuit indicating they wanted even more of the stuff?
Theres something rotten here that smells real bad to my olfactory system!
Can you say COVER UP? id bet somebody is scrambling to hide the details right now.....
If you are provoking a war, first provide the combatants with enough fire power to sufficiently degrade each other.....then neither becomes a future threat...

It probably costs them a few billion on paper, and a few million in reality, thereby allowing all the excess to be pumped into black projects, or just into the pockets of whichever member of government a corporation paid off to get the contract.

I'm a newbie from Shreveport, Louisiana (North West Louisiana). I live about 10 miles away from Camp Minden. I wanted to inform folks that the evacuation of the town near the camp, called Doyline, has been extended. When this all started being reported, the amount of "product" was supposed to be some thousands of pounds...then it changed to one million pounds...now we are being told it is 6 million pounds of explosives.
I/m not all into that whole "False Flag" situation either, but this had me thinking. If this had gone off hours after NK had launched their missile, how do you think the US would have reacted? How quickly do you think certain law makers would claim that we were attacked? How many people would have agreed with these law makers?

The Pentagon and the intelligence community are scouring classified and commercial imagery of the site and have not firmly concluded that North Korea is planning to launch a long-range rocket, a senior U.S. military official said.
So how do you look at the US Marine Corps. ? (I'm only kidding)

This is very true, corps don't have close to the precision and attention to safety that the military does for its country or employees.
Highly drilled, regimented, respectful are terms the military has to its name, corps are more about selfish individuals corned with "when do i get to go home and when will i get a pay raise". money money money and no respect.
