I don’t dispute there are problems. But sending things to Ukraine that were already slated for storage or disposal has no impact one way or the other on the readiness of active military units.

We still have millions of 155mm artillery rounds at the Sierra Army Depot that are overdue for disposal. Sending them to Ukraine for ‘disposal’ has no impact on stores of new ammunition.

The ammo we have slated for disposal can still be good depending on how it was stored. If properly stored it can last for decades. If it is good we need to retain it for war reserves as we have depleted quite a bit by sending it there. Also if any of those rounds are duds or have issues from not being properly stored it doesn’t help but is dangerous to the Ukrainian warfighters.

Time for us to get out as we can no longer sustain it. Russia has China and India plus many others behind them. When you add it all up its not good. We are not ready to fight WW3. Getting into a global conflict over this is not worth it.
