Who's Training our Forces?

The bad guys in Bruce Willis movies?

US forced to import bullets from Israel as troops use 250,000 for every rebel killed - Independent Online Edition > Americas: "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."

When I lived in AZ the guy teaching my CCW class was a rangemaster/instructor for the Sheriff's office. At work he had tested out several lots of 5.56mm for a County bid and said the Israeli loads were really unreliable - in one instance a primer came loose and firmly jammed a rifle bolt. Of course that's just one story from one dude testing one production run.
