Then, by your reasoning, I should be allowed to keep everything the Army has given me. I have a combat helmet, poncho, equipment belt and all sorts of little pouches that clip to it (for the life of me, I cannot remember what it is called). Not only that, but I use a computer and phone as part of my everyday duties. So, I should get to keep them at such time as I leave the Army?
On this, I’m all for being frugal with taxpayer money. If I want a piece of Army equipment—well, they pay me, I can buy it. It really is not the government’s job to provide personal equipment to people just because they were in the military.
Back away from the word “logic” as you are not rated for it. Especially if you attempt to use it by putting words in an other’s mouth.
I was talking about a single very important item; I was not babbling.
Just like our Second Amendment doesn’t mention ponchos neither does their law. The Swiss do not have a right to keep and bare arms but you are ready to take away the closest thing they have to it all over a few bucks that were theirs to start with. Finally, I don’t know about the Swiss but I doubt the average U.S. ex-GI can afford the $8000.00 the Army’s standard battle rifle would cost them after market not to mention the ridiculous paperwork.
You might want to rethink your position on this or remove the prefix “ex” from your pseudonym.
