It is unclear if the $1 billion figure is for small arms ammunition alone or if it includes missiles and other ordnance. The article uses the terms "ammunition", "bullets" and "missiles" almost interchangeably. This sort of ambiguity is inexcusable, given that small arms ammo costs a few cents per round while missiles cost thousands of dollars each. I doubt the original report is so ambiguous.
It's also unclear what is meant by "destroy". In my experience, for example, expired missiles are used for training. That surely destroys them but it's difficult to say they are wasted. Likewise, small arms ammo can be dismantled and the components sold or reused.
I'd like to read the original report before passing judgment, but it seems that report has not been publicly released.
