Been done already. Forces coming back have found all sorts of manner

Ummmm, no. Do you know how much hell a soldier would catch for trying
to
smuggle a personal weapon from here to overseas? And when he runs out
of
ammunition, what then? It's not like the army is keeping crates of
.45 laying
around the desert when the issued sidearm uses 9mm.
On the otherhand, many soldiers *are* bringing their own magazines,
optics, etc.
But not firearms.
