Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all those tax payers from 1985 to 2014
Over those years I fired tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition that you paid for never once given it much of a thought until I had to buy some of my own 5.56 today
So thank you I had a blast
Well at least when they were not shooting back at me anyway.

And thank you for being willing to shoot all that "free" ammo. I suspect your investment was sincere and more than balanced a few rounds of 5.56.

Yes. Thank you. I'm glad to pay for your ammunition so I can continue enjoying shooting mine. I think it's more than a fair trade.

Yep, glad and proud to support those willing to serve... I wish they would have given you your service rifle as a going away gift!

Yeah, and thanks for all the 105MM APFSDS rounds as well. Those were lots of fun!

I have fired 1,000's of 80mm and 120mm mortar rounds. Honestly I never crossed my mind how much they cost either! (But thank you)

Now you've gone and dun it ... I'll skip over the 155mm nuke and go straight to the Army's Sunday Punch ... PERSHING
Pershing 1a was over $1,000,000 a round.
