The U.S. Army has hidden or downplayed the extent to which its firearms disappear, significantly understating losses and thefts even as some weapons are used in street crimes.
The Army’s pattern of secrecy and suppression dates back nearly a decade, when The Associated Press began investigating weapons accountability within the military. Officials fought the release of information for years, then offered misleading answers that contradict internal records.

"The Pentagon stopped regularly sharing information about missing weapons to Congress years ago." Seriously, WTH !!!!! I don't care what party you are but your job is fracking oversight. If your subordinate tells you they aren't going to provide something they are legally required to, then haul their butts to Congress, point a bright light at them and ask them WTF !!!
