AFGHAN SOLDIERS FIRE THEIR GUNS JUST TO SELL SHELL CASINGS FOR SCRAP (GUESS WHO PAYS FOR IT?)

According to Reuters, the Afghan Army is not wasting any time shooting their weapons. Unfortunately, those spent munitions are not being used for training or for fighting the Taliban. Afghan soldiers are so poor that they’re randomly firing their guns just so they can collect the spent shell casings and sell them for scrap.
Scrap dealers in Helmand province are making a killing by purchasing the brass from soldiers for $2.55 per kilo. Whenever poorly paid police officers or soldiers need money, they simply fire off their weapons into the wilderness for 5 or 10 minutes, and hand over the spent shell casings to the dealers.
