This is funny, in a very depressing sort of way:

According to a requisition last week by the [US] Army Field Support Command [...]
"Increasing military contingencies have created a situation where the capability to produce small calibre ammunition through conventional methods has been fully exercised,"

Translation from military-ese:

The US Army says, "Help! we're running out of bullets!"

Fall back? When the ground is covered in rocks? They should us the suppressing fire laying under their feet.

I like the idea that all their production is in one location. Now an intelligent fellow who wished to stop the rise of US Imperialism might think a bullet factory probably wouldn't be that hard to blow up.
