Desperate times: Marines told to 'save every round'

Posted by
CNN's Kevin Liptak

(CNN) – United States Marines are being told to preserve ammunition and gasoline as a deal softening the impact of automatic spending cuts continues to elude leaders in Washington.

Marine Corps Commandant James Amos urged personnel in a video posted online Friday to "save every round, every gallon of gas," and to "take every single aspect or opportunity in training to get the most bang for the buck," a reminder of the cuts' immediate effect on the U.S. military.

The Marine Corps and other branches are being forced to cut billions from their budgets as the result of the spending cuts, which were triggered March 1 when Congress and the White House failed to strike a deal reducing the federal debt. In a letter to all Marines dated March 2, Amos said his branch would cut $1.4 billion in 2013 and $2 billion in every ensuing year for nearly a decade.

If Marines are to save "every gallon of gas", then they should ditch Marine One in the Potomac.....preferrably with Dear Leader in it!

Dumbass.

I would guess that every guy who has ever served in the military knows of the extensive waste and fraud that takes place every day every where. If our military leaders can't figure out how to manage a reduction in their plans to expand, we need some new managers.

At least, that's the way I see it.
