I stand behind what I implied, and if you actually get off your can and do some looking, you can find that out for yourself.

There were several soldiers who brought back BAR's, Thompsons, Garands, etc.
You made the claim, you have the burden of proof. I'm somewhat of a WW2 buff, and have not read anything remotely implying what you stated.

Did some soldiers keep their service arms? Sure. However, your claim that "the US Military used to allow soldiers returning from WWII to keep their service arms", and your implication by that statement, is as far as I have researched false.

I'm serious when I stated that if you have the documentation to back that up I'd be interested in learning about it.
