So because the soldier had to do an 18 month deployment and get shot at everyday his stuff suddenly has more value than my stuff? I work my butt off to get what I have, I scrimp and save, and make sacrafices, but since I dont get paid to take a bullet and to protect this country, I have to just deal with it?
Now like I said, I dont think anything in my home is worth killing someone over, but the logic you use here is flawed.
