Yes, and even if people think the current wars UK forces are involved in are wrong, they should know better than to take it out on the individual, junior people involved by throwing abuse at them in the streets or worse.

My other sort of problem with uniform in the streets is that large groups of people in uniform can be scary/intimidating to other people in the streets - partly that's what the uniform is designed for, partly groups of people don't recognise how their behaviour appears to those around them.
