Well, from what the article says, they're not trying to move them as much to profit off of the sale, but rather just to save money on storing them. I guess they could just dump them into the ocean and save just as much money on storage. (But I really hope it doesn't come to that.)

As for the Lord of War quote, I didn't think it was true. I saw something on the History Channel about the army depot in Anniston, AL, and how the army goes through a lot of trouble to refurbish and repair existing weapons, discarding only the most badly worn or broken weapons. An M16 probably costs the Army at least $400 each. It can't cost that much to ship one.
