And then we all talk about looting in Iraq by Iraqis as if that was the "biggest sin/horror" event.

Collecting enemy artifacts on a battlefield is routine.

American Indians collected scalps.

Some Turks collected ears in Korea.

American soldiers brought home many weapons from the world wars, Korea, Vietnam and many of the smaller conflicts.
