The US running out of bomb
http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/04/politics/air-force-20000-bombs-missiles-isis/index.html
The US has been dropping bombs continuously and will eventually run out of stock. An Air Force chief said, "expending munitions faster than we can replenish them." The US bombing campaign against ISIS has caused us to fire off about 20,000 missiles and bombs in a 15th month wing span. The Air Force is trying to get funding for more bombs to get ready for the long fight. They are also trying to find a plan where they can make the missiles at a more rapid pace.
Sooner or later we are going to run out of supplies and have no way to protect ourselves from ISIS. At the end of the article, it talks about how the Republican believe that we are being too timid and need to use more weapons. I do not agree with this because we need to be prepared for the long war which we are predicting.
Since this is one of our main attack strategies right now this is very alarming. We really need to keep a balance before we run out of stock.

The idea of another world war is terrifying. I would hate to think of the time period I lived in was war time. I hope the foreshadowing of war is just paranoia, but if it does happen then I hope it isn't too catastrophic to the U.S. -Sophie Kurzius (8)
