By the time a soldier has been through a few tours of duty in the sandbox, There is a good chance that he loves his service rifle and his pistol, and both weapons are a LOT closer to the end of their useful service life.
Why does he not get to take them home with him? The Swiss let their men do it, and they have a gun crime rate of approximately nil. If it's money you are worried about, give the men a decent price and a bunch of them would still jump at the chance to keep "their own" weapons.
Oh wait, I forgot, there's a laaaaaaaw!!!1!
Bah, humbug!
