Sadly, no. You get that stuff when you go in-theater, then you leave all that junk behind when you come home. It's really hard on the aircraft and makes inspections and such a whole lot more of a chore. You can get away with it when you're deployed because a lot of the higher end maintenance gets deferred til when you get back to the states and EVERY aircraft goes into serious deep maintenance.

Marine One is a different aircraft and as such was not the aircraft hit, however it's easily possible that it was one of his entourage. Though the fact that it was an Air Force helicopter and not Army makes that kinda unlikely.
