I saw a parody commercial by Jay Leno the other night in which
Delta is once again castigated for charging baggage fees to
returning troops.

Apparently Delta was correct but the publicity was so bad that
they changed their policy. I heard some people say that those
in the service should be allowed an unlimited number of bags with
no weight limit. This would be impossible.

So explain this:

For those troops that are returning home but who know they'll be going
back - why do they have to bring their stuff back with them?

Why can't they leave their guns or armor or other **** there in Iraq /
Afghanistan?

Don't they have lockers or secure storage there where they can leave it?
