It seems like the Third Amendment would also prevent the military from confiscating property and merhcandise for its use.

In that regard, it would also seem relevant in terms of limiting taxation. Giving quarter was seen as another "taxation without representation" - the colonists were willing to pay so much, and no more.
Much as today, we seem to be taxed at every turn and in what I'll politely refer to as "indirect methods".

Thanks.
I knew I was heading somewhere with my thought, but I wasn't quite sure where.
