Unless you were getting a deal through the military PX. Countless times I've read quotes from top shooters who were asked what they'd want when they went to heaven and they said a Leica M. people who had a huge amount of Canons or Nikons. They wished they were born rich so they could have done it with Leicas instead or they win a surprise inheritance now. Leicas are not now all of a sudden expensive.
