i've added a comment to my earlier post.

summary: appears to be allowed if approved by the appropriate authority. paperwork & request to retain by the individual would have to be filed at the same time as it is turned in to the authority.

i would bet that if the item was of sufficient value and culturally significant, any such permission could be appealed in a US military or civilian court.

trophies, either actual battlefield or bought in local markets by remfs and lied about as such, i am sure are coming out of afghanistan as well.
