Retired military guy led me to this article

I had a customer in the shop today who is retired AF. We were talking guns, and the issue of ammo shortage came up. I said it was due to people buying all they could find, which I'm guilty of. He said it was a govt. conspiracy. He cited the government's procurement of large quantities of ammo. He then said something I've never heard. He said: " You know that's what they're doing because they're buying up hollow points, and the Geneva Convention outlawed hollow points in war."
I'm not one to believe just anything so I investigated. There were numerous sites contradicting what he said.
Long story short, I landed on this: LINK, and found it to be interesting info on the evolution of US military ammo. It's an interesting read.
