So at Wittering air base in the UK, commanders has told British troops not to wear their uniforms into a nearby town due to verbal abuse from opponents of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I realize we are nowhere near Vietnam levels of discontent, but these events have to be somewhat similar. Don't know where it goes from here.
