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?

A soldier never knows for sure where he will be posted next.
