Forbes: Why does Homeland Security need more bullets than would have sustained war in Iraq for 20+ years ... in America?

"1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It's Time For A National Conversation" (Forbes, March 11, 2013):

... at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America. (emphasis mine)

It's finally getting a little hard for the mainstream media to ignore this now. It's time for a NATIONAL CONVERSATION indeed.
