>trophies
They should be able to sack and loot, wholesale.

Because theft is frowned upon now.

No.

Sack! Sack! Sack!

War is theft.

What the fuck are you gonig to take from dirt farmers, his thoroughly rusted basement-made AK, or his rape-slave goat?

>not wanting both
I'd take anything as long as it comes with his dignity.

No,
You just die so the chosen can pilfer everything

his t-55 or his ornamented family heirloom

I tried to fine things of worth to steal from Afghanistan but there was literally nothing. All I got out of there was an Afghanistan flag

>doesn’t know how many small arms have made their way into Afghanistan
Anything from Iraqi Tabuks to Iranian G3s. If soldiers can police the poppy for the criminals at the Pentagon, then they can bring back a gun.

The reason is that solders get a pay check and a pension.
War trophies are payment, taken by those forced into service.
In old times that was the only why a folders and fighters got paid.
Burn and loot, was done to take land and destroy the enemy.
Today war is not fought for territory, its fought for access, contracts and political games.

No war is a fight over ownership.
Who owns what.

>The reason is that solders get a pay check and a pension
So do senators, but that hasn’t stopped them from profiting off of war
>War trophies are payment
Assuming that’s true, why should soldiers be the only ones that do not profit from both A. their station and B. their activities? EVERYONE ELSE does in warfare. Warfare fuels the American economy and fills the pockets of people in gov making deals with the private sector, etc.
Your only reason for not letting soldiers take back a measly rifle is that they are the ones doing the dirty work. They actually deserve it.

You only own what you can defend.
Its not yours, you barrow it for a time then someone else takes it.
Economics, the study of theft. Law is theft, what can be and cannot be owned and how.
War is just a fight. The how's and who's matter little. Its that there was a fight at all.

...

we dont want "weapons of war" on the street goyim, think of all the children that have died from lugers and p38s

Because possession of the personal items of the enemy upon capture is reason for execution.

>he's so close

His pearl, ruby and silver inlaid Jezail

Soldiers were taking home trophies as late as Vietnam.

You can't steal from a dead guy

>All those pictures of StG-44's in the middle east
>None of them will ever come back home and enjoy a life of peaceful range time because "no trophies faggot"
They managed to get rid of the only good reason there ever was to go to war.

his spices and tobacco

If it makes you feel any better, it’s a disincentive to keep good men from dying for Israel

Even worse is seeing them in places like the Congo, all rusted to hell and back
