The only thing that surprises me is that this isn't a bigger number. Doing a quick google, there are over 1.4 million active duty people in the US military. Over 10 years, losing only ~2000 guns is actually not that many, lets say ~200/year, with that large of an org is pretty impressive. Some reports have the amount of guns in the military to be 4+ million. For comparison, in retail, inventory theft/loss (shrink) averages between 1-2%, so for them to only have lost 200/year, IMHO is pretty darn good @ 0.005%. Hell, I worked at a place where they lost a couple jet engines and didn't find them for like 15 years.
