By the way you will continue to be able to purchase state sales tax and excise tax free just as you do today. No difference.

So please explain to us where you loose this "small benefit too"?

Pay and bonuses received in a combat zone is paid without any income tax. The soldier is then allowed to spend it free of sales tax at a PX/BX/Commissary. Under your proposal, he would not be able to purchase items free of sales tax. So that small benefit is no longer available to him.
