That's probably what the Jews said in 1938.
Deny ignorance.

I'm not good with dates sometimes. I was thinking of the beginning of the holocaust. You get my point, though.

FromHS Buys 750 Million Additional Rounds of Ammunition

On the other hand, such an action on the part of the Department of Defense makes perfect sense if the goal is to acclimate citizens to the idea of seeing tanks and armed military acting in a policing capacity. Just check out the two random idiots the local news affiliate picked to interview in St. Louis on the subject. Both state that they think the exercise is a "great idea", because having the military on the streets would help to "reduce crime":
So it depends on who and what source you want to believe. As many TSA, DHS agents as they have hired these last few years it might come down to giving each one of them a single bullet with the warning "don't lose it"!
I understand what you are saying and sorry if my feeble attempt at clarification may not be of much help..Sure where there is smoke there might be fire but not allot any of us can do about it..

That's because initially in Iraq the US forces just brased the whole area up
Really brased the area up
One night a platoon went through 41,000 rounds of various calibre's in one town, and accounted for ...........8 kills ......3 of whom were positively identified as fighting males
The attitude changed a while after, but at first it was quantity over quality
I don't think the same scenario would happen in a domestic situation
Driving down Main Street ......letting rip at everything that moves ........and everything that doesn't ........just happy to be firing live ammo

He's wrong about that number though. The DHS ordered somewhere closer to 1.6 billion rounds.
