Don't Scrub That Rug! Silk rug cleaning expert explains why...
Is non-artifact, non-museum/cultural legal during war?
I just ask, because when we were in OIF I, we were told by our Commander that as long as it wasn't an artifact and we didn't raid a museum, anything found in the palaces we occupied were fair game. Whatever you could fit in your quad cons that customs deemed appropriate for shipment back, and no contraband, basically. A lot of people brought home fine china, golden trinkets, furniture,simple jewelry and even Persian rugs. Of course, standard items like silk hijabs, mink blankets, portraits of Saddam, and cleaned out hookahs topped the most popular list. When there was still some for the taking , of course wine cellars were raided and consumed too.
My question is, was this looting? Or was it acqusition of the spoils of war? I mean, the palaces were occupied and people had to survive.
This is called looting.
General Order number One and your ROE all prohibited this.
