A group of robbers in Milwaukee showed respect for Veterans Day this week when they returned the property of an Army reservist after finding his military identification card in the wallet they had stolen at gunpoint.

The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student and Army reservist said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when the men came out from between two houses. He thought about running to the other side of the street but decided against it.

Thats nice but what if he wasn't in the army reserves? Then its ok to rob him? Weird. I'm assuming the "leader" of the crooks was a veteran.

Maybe a car jacker will detail a car before abandoning it.

They took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said.

But when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw his Army ID in the wallet, the hostile tone quickly changed. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of it on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said.


Whew. Thank god he got the PowerBar wrapper back. Those are hard to come by, especially at 1:30 in the AM.

"The leader of the group actually walked back, gave me a quick fist bump, which was very strange," he said.


Yeah, you could say that. If you'd asked the guy to make a list of all the ways he was expecting it to end, I somehow doubt that one would have been very close to the top.

That's why I always carry my V.A. i.d. card in my wallet, not too far away from my Glock Mod 27.
