They'll probably blame this problem on Clinton. Actually, Israel makes
pretty good weapons. In the short term, buying from them may make a
bit of sense. In the long term, they should expand production right
here.

250,000 bullets per insurgent? They should never have gotten rid of the

This is obviously a bunch of nonsensical garbage started up by a troll. I
haven't fired a rifle in over 50 years, but give me just 1% of that amount of
ammo and the only way I'd fail to get someone with it would be if I was on a
totally deserted island completely devoid of targets.

The M-16 doesn't cut it when going through Mud Brick or

Close quarters Combat in an urban environment like that
calls for full auto SAWS and M-60's that has some hitting Power.
Firefights are a lot like Nam in many ways that consume a
lot of rounds.

The thing that got me was the poor training they seemed to
have had when we first went in.
Seeing recruits firing with the Buts over their Shoulder at

So that would be like when you were shooting at a target while training?
The text says that a lot of these bullets were used in training. In
training. Get it?

Of course I got it. Didn't I just call it a bunch of nonsensical garbage? BTW,
the original posting on 9/24, which was to a UK link, said this:

"US forced to import bullets from Israel as troops use 250,000 for every rebel

US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan - an estimated
250,000 for every insurgent killed - that American ammunition-makers cannot keep

That's pretty specific and it doesn't even mention training rounds. I also find
it kind of interesting that they were able to post their bullshit the day BEFORE
it was published. I don't know about you, but it sure smells like troll to me.

It doesn't mention rounds used to suppress the enemy either. Do you
think that the US had the terrorists in its sights 250,000 times before
it got one of them?

What are you talking about? BTW, the text I read certainly did mention
training rounds, just not in the paragraph you quote.

The US has been buying ammunition from Israel for twenty years. I was shooting

Certainly the US has been importing ammunition for years. The issue
would be the US military having to do so because of constraints in
domestic capabilities. These first because acute when Clinton was
president, due mainly to a reticence on his part to invest in the
military. Cutting to the bone and hoping people could shoot straight
without enough practice were acceptable since, well, we weren't at war
then, you know.

You can't be addressing your question to me.....I've already clearly stated that
I thought the whole thing was a bunch of bullshit. Turn me loose with 2,500
rounds in an environment with targets and I guarantee that I'll get at least one
before I run out of ammo.

Unlike you, I didn't find it necessary to read that far into their fairy tale to
determine that it was a bunch of garbage. The lead paragraph in any published
story is supposed to be a forerunner of the contents of the entire article.
When you jump to a conclusion in the lead paragraph that is not bourne out in
the rest of the story, that's called misleading the public. This particular
story and its author deserve to be consigned to oblivion.

I heard that the Thompson submachine gun also had a good reputation for
applications of that nature.

What surprises me, though, is that they don't use flamethrowers and
rocket launchers to flush the bad guys out of buildings in urban combat.
It's a difficult problem-- during Poland's war with Sweden in 1655, the
Swedes knocked holes between adjoining buildings so that, if they were
forced out of one, they could go next door. The Poles, meanwhile, used
improvised "Kevlar"-- sheaves of unthreshed grain, which would
apparently stop musket fire.

Even I know enough to put the butt against my shoulder! (In my father's
time, if you didn't, you got kicked HARD by a Springfield '03 or M-1.)

What if your responsibility is to fire in an area with enemy to keep
them from showing themselves? The assumption that war is just a bunch of
one shot, one kill sniping is absurd.

A report in Manufacturing & Technology News
said that the Pentagon eventually found
two producers capable of meeting its
requirements.

One of these was the US firm Olin-Winchester.

The other was Israel Military Industries,
an Israeli ammunition manufacturer linked
to the Israeli government,

which produces the bulk of weapons
and ordnance for the Israeli Defence

US forced to import bullets from
Israel as troops use 250,000 for
every rebel killed

By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
Published: 25 September 2005

US forces have fired so many
bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan -

an estimated 250,000 for
every insurgent killed -

that American ammunition-makers
cannot keep up with demand.

As a result the US is having
to import supplies from Israel.

A government report says that US
forces are now using 1.8 billion
rounds of small-arms ammunition
a year.

The total has more than doubled in five years,
largely as a result of the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq, as well as changes in military doctrine.

"The Department of Defense's
increased requirements for small-
and medium-calibre ammunitions have
largely been driven by increased
weapons training requirements,

dictated by the army's
transformation to a more
self-sustaining and lethal force -

which was accelerated after
the attacks of 11 September, 2001 -

and by the deployment of forces
to conduct recent US military
actions in Afghanistan and Iraq,"

said the report by the
General Accounting Office (GAO).

Estimating how many bullets US
forces have expended for every
insurgent killed is not a simple
or precisely scientific matter.

The former head of US forces in Iraq,

General Tommy Franks,
famously claimed
that his forces

"don't do body counts".

But senior officers have
recently claimed "great successes"
in Iraq,

based on counting the
bodies of insurgents killed.

Maj-Gen Rick Lynch,
the top US military spokesman in Iraq,
said 1,534 insurgents had been seized
or killed in a recent operation in the
west of Baghdad.

Other estimates from military officials
suggest that at least 20,000 insurgents
have been killed in President George Bush's
"war on terror".

John Pike,
director of the Washington military
research group GlobalSecurity.org,
said that, based on the GAO's figures,

US forces had expended around six
billion bullets between 2002 and 2005.

"How many evil-doers have we sent to
their maker using bullets rather than
bombs?

I don't know," he said.

"If they don't do body counts, how can I?

But using these figures it works
out at around 300,000 bullets per
insurgent.

Let's round that down to 250,000
so that we are underestimating."

Pointing out that officials say many
of these bullets have been used for
training purposes, he said:

"What are you training for?

To kill insurgents."

Kathy Kelly,
a spokeswoman for the peace
group Voices in the Wilderness,

said Mr Bush believed security
for the American people could
come only from the use of force.

Truer security would be achieved
if the US developed fairer relations
with other countries and was not
involved in the occupation of Iraq.

The President,

said Ms Kelly,

should learn from Israel's experience
of "occupying the Palestinians" rather
than buying its ammunition.

The GAO report notes that
the three government-owned,

contractor-operated
plants that produce small-

and medium-calibre ammunition were built in 1941.

Though millions of dollars have been
spent on upgrading the facilities,

they remain unable to meet current
munitions needs in their current state.

"The government-owned plant producing
small-calibre ammunition cannot meet
the increased requirements,

even with modernisation efforts,"

said the report.

"Also, commercial producers within
the national technology and industrial
base have not had the capacity to meet
these requirements.

As a result,

the Department of Defense had to
rely at least in part on foreign
commercial producers to meet its
small-calibre ammunition needs."

A report in Manufacturing & Technology News
said that the Pentagon eventually found
two producers capable of meeting its
requirements.

One of these was the US firm Olin-Winchester.

The other was Israel Military Industries,
an Israeli ammunition manufacturer linked
to the Israeli government,

which produces the bulk of weapons
and ordnance for the Israeli Defence
Force.

The Pentagon reportedly bought
313 million rounds of 5.56mm,
7.62mm and 50-calibre ammunition
last year and paid $10m (about £5.5m)
more than it would have cost for it
to produce the ammunition at its
own facilities.

So what does that have to do with the cockamamie story in the British rag about
needing a quarter of a million rounds of ammo to pop off one insurgent? One
plus one equals three?

What we need to do is start using the Captured RPG's like we
used Bazookas in WW2 and Korea!
And start thinking about REUSUABLE instead of THROWAWAY for
Anti Personal!

It's Cheaper and gets the Job done just as well.
Using a Tank Rocket on Personal is a waste when older

Great Sniper Rifle even without a Scope.

I couldn't believe it when I saw that in the News!
And not just one but several different News Channels with
Different Embedded Reporters!

How could you hit anything like that?
It puts the whole Squad in jeopardy!
Alamo anyone?

I wrote so many letters over that to have someone pull them
from the front line for retraining in the Field before they
got themselved cut off without Ammo.

I hope somebody read them!
Nobody hunts anymore I guess.

They need people to train these puppies how to do it right.
Guard Training must have cut a few corners to save money
that should have been spent to teach them to stay alive.
No wonder they are taking Nam and Korea Vets!

But I don't want to go down that road, they're doing it
right now.

Dig a few BAR's out with Armor Piercing Ammo for each Squad
would help.

What we should do is reissue the Captured RPG's to our Troops.
Rockets are Expensive, Heavy and use once only!
And issued only one per squad if they are lucky.

We need to go back to basics and use the KISS method.
A simple reusable Bazooka or RPG is what we need against
Personal dug in.

And it only took MONTHS of my saying so for you to figure it out.

Your being Black would be unfortunate for Black people. Of course anyone would
be ashamed to be associated with you.

You don't seem to be able to do that. I guess you're not White... or a person.

Wrong. Come down here to North Carolina - where hunting is not only
very common, but hardly is just a rich man's game. It's how lots of
people get meat to eat.
The American military's problem is that - outside of the elite units
doing most of the heavy fighting in Iraq, which really are recruited
from places like this - too high a percentage of their troops are urban
recruits, with no rifle experience before enlisting and little rifle
training after. The Army has been plagued by this problem since its
Nam days.
